   Hello…

   I was looking for a simple blog script, to install in a friend’s website, and I found Pritlog, the perfect script, simple and easy to use.

   My friend wanted a theme completely modified, to make the blogs looks like his site.
   Because of this, I chose the 0.7 version, then I used the Myblue theme, only available in this version.

   Unfortunately I had some problems, I live in Brazil and here we speak Portuguese, and we use some especial characters in a lot of words, like “á í ã ç”, in words like “Vídeo e Mídia”.

   When I tried to create some new categories using especial characters in their titles, like the category “Mídia”, an error occurs, the category is created, appears in the list of tags, everything works perfectly, but when I try to access them, the posts simply disappear, the script just show a blank list.
   This occurs only when a try to create categories using especial characters in their titles.

   Anyone here can give-me some help to fix this?

   I think when I create the new category, using special characters, like “Mídia, ´ on letter I”, the script convert the “ ´ ” on letter “ I ”, in “%C3%AD“, and the entire word in “M %C3%ADdia”, and when the user clicks in this category, the script accesses “Mídia” instead of “M %C3%ADdia”, character “í“ instead of “%C3%AD”.

   But when I put the category name directly on the Address bar in my browser, like… “index.php/viewCategory/ M%C3%ADdia”, the browser automatically converts “%C3%AD” in a “í” character again, but I think the category stored in the database is “M %C3%ADdia” instead of “Mídia”.

   I’m sorry, sometimes is very hard to read what I wrote, because my English is not good.

   Thanks a lot for the attention.

   Regards

   Leandro

   In a previous post I commented about a change I made to fix Spanish accents.
   I'm not sure but maybe it could help you too. The change involves replacing htmlentities() with htmlspecialchars(). I'm in Buenos Aires.

   Thanks John.

   @atoxmy: If you have any difficulty following the post mentioned by John or making this change, you can post your index.php somewhere and I will modify this for you.

   Also, if you would like to share your theme, that would be great too. I understand that this might be a truly personal customization that you may not want others to get their hands on. :)

   If you are able to apply this theme to Pritlog 0.8, that would be better for you because of the performance improvement and additional features in this version.

   Hello...

   John and Prit, Thanks very much…

   I really appreciate your help.

   I have changed htmlentities() to htmlspecialchars(), and It fixed the bug in the RSS, but not the error in the categories.

   Anyway, I don’t need more try to fix this bug, because my friend will create categories only without special characters.

   Prit, if it not gives a lot of work for you, please fix this bug on the next version of the blog.

   And about the theme, I made this changes to make the MyBlue theme looks like main website, and I used all things available in the original theme, like icons, images and other things else.

   Some modifications I made disrupt the code, “disrupt? sorry, I don’t know the right word to write”, but, I think, if I want to make a new theme, I have to take care to modify the code and keep everything organized.

   Whatever, I’ll create a new theme to use in my blog, in 0.8 version, and if you like the theme I’ll share with other users, i'll do that soon.

   Once again, thank you very much.

   Hi,

   I added 3 lines of codes to my titleModify() function that does the trick to translate any accented chars to not accented ones to clean up my friendly urls. I think the same solution can be used in other functions to clean any special chars you like.

   function titleModify($myTitle){

   //no accents
   $spanish=array("á","é","í","ó","ú","Á","É","Í","Ó","Ú");
   $english=array("a","e","i","o","u","A","E","I","O","U");
   $myTitle=str_replace($spanish,$english,$myTitle);

   $myTitle=str_replace('"','',str_replace("'","",html_entity_decode($myTitle,ENT_QUOTES)));
   $myTitleMod1=preg_replace("/[^a-z\d\'\"]/i", "-", substr($myTitle,0,strlen($myTitle)-1));
   $myTitleMod2=preg_replace("/[^a-z\d]/i", "", substr($myTitle,strlen($myTitle)-1,1));
   $myTitleModified=rtrim($myTitleMod1.$myTitleMod2,'-');
   return $myTitleModified;
   }

    Hello!

    I have this problem in categories with scandinavian special characters ("å", "ä" and "ö"). Have tried adding three lines that John posted (ofcourse with these characters), but it didn't help. Is there something else I could try?

    Thank you.

    Hi Herman,

    The code I posted above was intended to solve the special characters issue with post titles thus it was added to the titleModify() function.

    To correct your category names issue, you will need to adapt the same code in other functions, but where and how depends on what you objective is.

    Note about the code: of course the new letters you add and the letters you want to use as replacement have to be in the same "relative" positions in both arrays.

    Hi atomxy, hermanr,
    You could change the following lines or download Pritlog 0.8 again ( as i have updated this to the package).

    In the function - printTagCloudAgain
    replace
    str_replace(" ",".",$key)
    with
    urlencode(str_replace(" ",".",$key))

    In the function - sidebarCategories
    replace
    $row['category']
    with
    urlencode($row['category'])

    In the function - viewEntry
    In the line starting with
    echo '<center><i>'.$lang['pageAuthorsNew1'] ....
    replace
    $category
    with
    urlencode($category)

    In the function - listPosts
    In the line starting with
    echo "<center><i>".$lang['pageAuthorsNew1'] ....
    replace
    $category
    with
    urlencode($category)

    Also, replace
    $categoryText='/viewCategory/'.$requestCategory;
    with
    $categoryText='/viewCategory/'.urlencode($requestCategory);
