Hi there,
I’m creating my first website with ModX. Things have been going pretty well so far but I’ve hit a bit of a problem with the Search Engine Friendly URLS. If my article title has a percentage in it (which is quite common for this site), the search engine friendly alias will cause a broken link as %’s are not stripped.
Is this something that I’ve done wrong and is it an issue with this release?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

// CONFIGURATION:

$alias_new = $_POST[’longtitle’].’.’.$_POST[’pagetitle’];
$e = &$modx->Event;
// Only on this event
if ($e->name == ’OnDocFormSave’)
{
// Check if the alias is empty

$alias_new = str_replace(’&’,’and’,$alias_new);
$alias_new = str_replace("’","",$alias_new);
// Convert accented characters to their non-accented counterparts.
$alias_new = strtr($alias_new,

$alias_new = str_replace(’--’,"-",$alias_new);
$alias_new = str_replace(’%’,"_",$alias_new);
$alias_new = strtolower($alias_new);
$alias_new = urlencode($alias_new);
$fields = array(’alias’ => $alias_new);
$table = $modx->getFullTableName(’site_content’);
// Update the database
$rows_affected = $modx->db->update(
$fields,
$table,
"id = {$e->params[’id’]}"
);
// Generate an error if the DB was not updated
if(!$rows_affected)
{
$modx->event->alert("CustomAlias: An error occured when saving the alias.");
}
}
}
I saw this plugin actually, and tried to install it but to no avail. I checked the box to activate the plugin OnDocFormSave but no luck. Is there anythig else I need to do. Turn off friendly alias’ in the system config?
Also, does this plugin require a specific version of ModX?
Thanks for all your help.

you need to reedit the pages whith % for save the correct alias
