how to convert %7c in to -

2

Certain characters need to be urlencoded or the link won’t work.

I don’t think there’s much you can do about it and AFAIK a search for either should bring up the same results no?

Off Topic:

Thread moved to Apache forum. No need to double post. :wink:

no one there ?
I am testing Pligg, I never use it and I noted that when I posted some news, it doesn’t remove automatically the special character from the url.
I am using the method 2 rewrite, (category/post/)

Example:

http://www.mysite.it/News/example-|-post/

Is possibile disable or undelete automatically these character from the url when you submit a news?

And trasform the url to:

http://www.mysite.it/News/example-post/

Thanks!

some one say me :-You could probably add the following line to the /languages/translit.txt file to correct this problem. This won’t fix existing URLs, but it will correct future URLs.

Code:
| = “”

But its not working for me… Please tell me what to do ?

How does the | symbol get there in the first place?

8

What ?
user submit This symbol | in their post…
I means free submit news website…

I would say it’s better to let Pligg clean up its act then to let Apache fix the URLs for it.
I have no experience with pligg myself so I’m afraid I can’t help you in that regard, but they do seem to have a pretty active forum of their own. Maybe you could try there? :slight_smile:

thanks ScallioXTX,
i already submitted that question there… no on is replying…even forum admin also…
i send private message toooo
I am very sad no one know the solution of this how it is possible ?

11

I just don’t get why people are submitting such a character, but anyhow …

Is it possible to add some php to the pages that will just convert the pipe symbol into a character reference? Don’t know how you would set it up to grab plig code though. If I just had a standard url entry field on a static site, I’d try something like

$url = htmlentities($url, ENT_NOQUOTES);
$url = str_replace("|","|",$url);

But it seems like url rewriting is the best option if Pligg won’t help you out.

How to url rewriting will done ? i have no idea
there is translit.txt file in my pligg installation…
; global transliteration
[default]
« = “”

Here is my pligg forums post… no one is helping me out

old one mine
symbol makes problem

charmi,

If you’re using mod_rewrite to redirect your errant link to your link, include a range definition with [|]. Apache will decode the %7c and the regex will match with that character range definition.

Regards,

DK
