    Hello
    I was wondering whether I’m missing something here - on a client’s site, auto alias values still show up with all the umlauts hence, none of the links works when friendly urls are turned on - is there anything else I need to do/configure?

    Thanks

      Change the setting to common instead of UTF in the plugin configuration.

        just did that - still doesn’t work - are commas allowed in the url?

            Please share how you got it working, I have the same problem, I’m using common in the settings but still my friendly URLs have umlauts in them.

            EDIT: The problem solved itself when I changed the Manager language (or my user’s language, forgot which one) from English to Finnish. Now it works.

            EDIT2: No, apparently I was wrong. Can’t really remember what I did or if I just dreamed the problem solved itself. Anyone have any info on this? I’m having trouble finding any information about TransAlias.

              Here’s some info about my setup:
              ModX 1.0.2 on Linux 2.6.18-164.el5xen
              SERVER_SOFTWARE Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)
              PHP Version 5.1.6
              Database Version 5.0.77
              Database Charset utf8
              Database Collation Charset utf8_unicode_ci

              I haven’t modified the plugin code as from what I can understand it should be working right away?
              table_name is common and char_restrict lowercase alphanumeric

              Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
