Support/Comments for translit 1.0.0-beta

This is an auto-generated topic for translit 1.0.0-beta by opengeek.

Brief Description:

A service class that allows custom transliteration tables to be used when auto-creating or sanitizing friendly URL aliases in MODx Revolution. This initial beta release includes three tables that can be specified as the friendly_alias_translit System Setting:

1. noaccents
2. russian
3. german

Custom named transliteration tables can be manually added to the {core_path}components/translit/model/modx/translit/tables/ directory and configured. Additional contributed transliteration tables will be included in future releases of the package.

Hi Jason,

just updated to 2.0.5. I used a individual version of the translit class which worked fine in 2.0.4. In 2.0.5. there seem to be some changes to the settings of transliteration (path to model), so I installed this version via package management, but it doesn`t work. How are the settings supposed to be?

After installation they were like this:

setting_friendly_alias_translit_class : modx.translit.modTransliterate
setting_friendly_alias_translit_class_path : {core_path}components/translit/model/
setting_friendly_alias_translit : german

Installation was without problems, files are in place. With the settings above the log remains empty but the alias is not created.

Tried different paths and names for the class but no success. Any hints?

Thx
Marc

@Jason,
Do you have a doc for this?

I’m confirm that FURL’s wasn’t automatically created, then I deleted alias.
The options frendly_alias_urls, automatic_alias is set to Yes and .htaccess is present.
Version of MODx, is 2.0.8-pl

@MadeMyDay

After installation I had to set friendly_alias_translit (default none) to ’german’ and it seems to work when creating new documents.

MODx 2.0.8 and translit 1.0.0 beta

translit takes effect for new resources as well when modifying existing resource. The only issue I have is same as alex_dutch reported, when you delete an alias completely it doesn’t recreate the alias based on pagetitle. Though I’m not sure if that is an translit issue or MODx issue.

A little add to the translit noaccents table to ban Polish special characters from FURLS

'ą'=>'a', 'ć'=>'c', 'ę'=>'e', 'ł'=>'l', 'ń'=>'n', 'ó'=>'o', 'ś'=>'s', 'ż'=>'z', 'ź'=>'z',
'Ą'=>'A', 'Ć'=>'C', 'Ę'=>'E', 'Ł'=>'L', 'Ń'=>'N', 'Ó'=>'O', 'Ś'=>'S', 'Ż'=>'Z', 'Ź'=>'Z'
