Hi,

My webiste is in Vietnamese and when I post an article via CB, an alias of the article is created but it change all special alias into a dash '-' I want the specials characters to be relevant Latin characters and I tried to change the following code in the file components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbblogs/models/joomla25.php

---

private static function getTitleAlias( $title )
{
$alias = str_replace( '-', ' ', $title );
$alias = trim( cbIsoUtf_strtolower( $alias ) );
$alias = preg_replace( '/(\s|[^A-Za-z0-9\-])+/', '-', $alias );
$alias = trim( $alias, '-' );
return $alias;
}

---

into following code:

---

private static function getTitleAlias( transliterateString( $title ) )
{
$transliterationTable = array('á' => 'a', 'Á' => 'A', 'à' => 'a', 'À' => 'A', 'ả' => 'a', 'Ả' => 'A', 'ã' => 'a', 'Ã' => 'A', 'ạ' => 'a', 'Ạ' => 'A', 'ắ' => 'a', 'Ắ' => 'A', 'ằ' => 'a', 'Ằ' => 'A', 'ẳ' => 'a', 'Ẳ' => 'A', 'ẵ' => 'a', 'Ẵ' => 'A', 'ặ' => 'a', 'Ặ' => 'A', 'ấ' => 'a', 'Ấ' => 'A', 'ầ' => 'a', 'Ầ' => 'A', 'ẩ' => 'a', 'Ẩ' => 'A', 'ẫ' => 'a', 'Ẫ' => 'A', 'ậ' => 'a', 'Ậ' => 'A', 'đ' => 'd', 'Đ' => 'D', 'ó' => 'o', 'Ó' => 'O', 'ò' => 'o', 'Ò' => 'O', 'ỏ' => 'o', 'Ỏ' => 'O', 'õ' => 'o', 'Õ' => 'O', 'ọ' => 'o', 'Ọ' => 'O', 'ố' => 'o', 'Ố' => 'O', 'ồ' => 'o', 'Ồ' => 'O', 'ổ' => 'o', 'Ổ' => 'O', 'ỗ' => 'o', 'Ỗ' => 'O', 'ộ' => 'o', 'Ộ' => 'O', 'ớ' => 'o', 'Ớ' => 'O', 'ờ' => 'o', 'Ờ' => 'O', 'ở' => 'o', 'Ở' => 'O', 'ỡ' => 'o', 'Ỡ' => 'O', 'ợ' => 'o', 'Ợ' => 'O', 'é' => 'e', 'É' => 'E', 'è' => 'e', 'È' => 'E', 'ẻ' => 'e', 'Ẻ' => 'E', 'ẽ' => 'e', 'Ẽ' => 'E', 'ẹ' => 'e', 'Ẹ' => 'E', 'ế' => 'e', 'Ế' => 'E', 'ề' => 'e', 'Ề' => 'E', 'ể' => 'e', 'Ể' => 'E', 'ễ' => 'e', 'Ễ' => 'E', 'ệ' => 'e', 'Ệ' => 'E', 'í' => 'i', 'Í' => 'I', 'ì' => 'i', 'Ì' => 'I', 'ỉ' => 'i', 'Ỉ' => 'I', 'ĩ' => 'i', 'Ĩ' => 'I', 'ị' => 'i', 'Ị' => 'I', 'ú' => 'u', 'Ú' => 'U', 'ù' => 'u', 'Ù' => 'U', 'ủ' => 'u', 'Ủ' => 'U', 'ũ' => 'u', 'Ũ' => 'U', 'ụ' => 'u', 'Ụ' => 'U', 'ứ' => 'u', 'Ứ' => 'U', 'ừ' => 'u', 'Ừ' => 'U', 'ử' => 'u', 'Ử' => 'U', 'ữ' => 'u', 'Ữ' => 'U', 'ự' => 'u', 'Ự' => 'U', ' ' => '-', "'" => '', '&' => '');
$title = str_replace(array_keys($transliterationTable), array_values($transliterationTable), $title);

$alias = str_replace( '-', ' ', $title );
$alias = trim( cbIsoUtf_strtolower( $alias ) );
$alias = preg_replace( '/(\s|[^A-Za-z0-9\-])+/', '-', $alias );
$alias = trim( $alias, '-' );
return $alias;
}

But it makes the site down.

Can anybody know how to correct it?

Thanks,

Thank you Krileon,

Do you know in which file Joomla creating the alias?

Hi Krileon,

The matter is that I cannot use Joomla alias either, even when I turn on the Unicode mode.

The reason is that, in Vietnamese, there are some special charaters and in unisode alias these characters are kept.

For example, if the title is "Mẹo giúp thực phẩm cả tháng không hỏng"

The alias will be: "mẹo-giúp-thực-phẩm-cả-tháng-không-hỏng"

But sometimes it becomes like below or like in the attached file.

"m%E1%BA%B9o+gi%C3%BAp+th%E1%BB%B1c+ph%E1%BA%A9m+c%E1%BA%A3+th%C3%A1ng+kh%C3%B4ng+h%E1%BB%8Fng"

And cannot be read by human.

What I want is to change special charaters into relevant Latin characters. for example. ẹ => e, ú => u, ự => u, ẩ => a, ả => a, á => a, ô => o, ỏ => o...

Then the alias will become:

"meo-giup-thuc-pham-ca-thang-khong-hong"

By that way, the alias can be read.

I will use the array like this:

---

$transliterationTable = array('á' => 'a', 'Á' => 'A', 'à' => 'a', 'À' => 'A', 'ả' => 'a', 'Ả' => 'A', 'ã' => 'a', 'Ã' => 'A', 'ạ' => 'a', 'Ạ' => 'A', 'ắ' => 'a', 'Ắ' => 'A', 'ằ' => 'a', 'Ằ' => 'A', 'ẳ' => 'a', 'Ẳ' => 'A', 'ẵ' => 'a', 'Ẵ' => 'A', 'ặ' => 'a', 'Ặ' => 'A', 'ấ' => 'a', 'Ấ' => 'A', 'ầ' => 'a', 'Ầ' => 'A', 'ẩ' => 'a', 'Ẩ' => 'A', 'ẫ' => 'a', 'Ẫ' => 'A', 'ậ' => 'a', 'Ậ' => 'A', 'đ' => 'd', 'Đ' => 'D', 'ó' => 'o', 'Ó' => 'O', 'ò' => 'o', 'Ò' => 'O', 'ỏ' => 'o', 'Ỏ' => 'O', 'õ' => 'o', 'Õ' => 'O', 'ọ' => 'o', 'Ọ' => 'O', 'ố' => 'o', 'Ố' => 'O', 'ồ' => 'o', 'Ồ' => 'O', 'ổ' => 'o', 'Ổ' => 'O', 'ỗ' => 'o', 'Ỗ' => 'O', 'ộ' => 'o', 'Ộ' => 'O', 'ớ' => 'o', 'Ớ' => 'O', 'ờ' => 'o', 'Ờ' => 'O', 'ở' => 'o', 'Ở' => 'O', 'ỡ' => 'o', 'Ỡ' => 'O', 'ợ' => 'o', 'Ợ' => 'O', 'é' => 'e', 'É' => 'E', 'è' => 'e', 'È' => 'E', 'ẻ' => 'e', 'Ẻ' => 'E', 'ẽ' => 'e', 'Ẽ' => 'E', 'ẹ' => 'e', 'Ẹ' => 'E', 'ế' => 'e', 'Ế' => 'E', 'ề' => 'e', 'Ề' => 'E', 'ể' => 'e', 'Ể' => 'E', 'ễ' => 'e', 'Ễ' => 'E', 'ệ' => 'e', 'Ệ' => 'E', 'í' => 'i', 'Í' => 'I', 'ì' => 'i', 'Ì' => 'I', 'ỉ' => 'i', 'Ỉ' => 'I', 'ĩ' => 'i', 'Ĩ' => 'I', 'ị' => 'i', 'Ị' => 'I', 'ú' => 'u', 'Ú' => 'U', 'ù' => 'u', 'Ù' => 'U', 'ủ' => 'u', 'Ủ' => 'U', 'ũ' => 'u', 'Ũ' => 'U', 'ụ' => 'u', 'Ụ' => 'U', 'ứ' => 'u', 'Ứ' => 'U', 'ừ' => 'u', 'Ừ' => 'U', 'ử' => 'u', 'Ử' => 'U', 'ữ' => 'u', 'Ữ' => 'U', 'ự' => 'u', 'Ự' => 'U', ' ' => '-', "'" => '', '&' => '');

to change the file in Joomla core.

Please tell me if you know how to do that.

Thank you,
