Topic: URL Rewrite Problem (Bug?)

I have some jobs, where the URL rewriting is not perfect.

Any job will be found as long as the job id is found ... so company names are not really important.
http://www.jobboard-deutschland.de/job/473/
In that job you can see the company name has greven's in it. The ' is not replaced or removed by rewriting.

The problem is not, that the job will not show but that the URL is not valid what causes problems somewhere else.

Anyone any idea where I can adjust the rewriting?

Thanks in advance!

Re: URL Rewrite Problem (Bug?)

I found this link that may be useful for someone trying to address the issue (and than some):
http://cubiq.org/the-perfect-php-clean-url-generator
The relevant pages would be class.job.php and class.sanitizer.php in includes folder.
Hope it helps a little bit.

Re: URL Rewrite Problem (Bug?)

Thanks Hobo, that is a good first step.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it. I found a place where I thought that could help:

To find the right code for the character I was searching, I used a table like this:
http://www.asphelper.de/tip/tip12_ascii_tabelle.asp

In the file class.Sanitizer.php I found some lines where I thought I could be successful:

Code:

private static function remove_accents($string) {
        if ( !preg_match('/[\x80-\xff]/', $string) )
            return $string;

        if (self::seems_utf8($string)) {
            $chars = array(
            // Decompositions for Latin-1 Supplement

                .chr(252).chr(253).chr(255);

            $chars['out'] = "EfSZszYcYuAAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiinoooooouuuuyy";

            $string = strtr($string, $chars['in'], $chars['out']);
            $double_chars['in'] = array(chr(140), chr(156), chr(198), chr(208), chr(222), chr(223), chr(230), chr(240), chr(254));

            $string = str_replace($double_chars['in'], $double_chars['out'], $string);
        }

        return $string;
    }

But I wasn't.

E.g. I tried to change "Ü" to "Ue" and "ü" to "ue" (and I would go on for all german Umlauts) but when I  removed .chr(220) and .chr(252) from the one block - added it to the last block in  - and added "Ue" and "ue" to the end of the other block it looked like that

Code:

{
            // Assume ISO-8859-1 if not UTF-8
            $chars['in'] = chr(128).chr(131).chr(138).chr(142).chr(154).chr(158)
                .chr(159).chr(162).chr(165).chr(181).chr(192).chr(193).chr(194)
                .chr(195).chr(196).chr(197).chr(199).chr(200).chr(201).chr(202)
                .chr(203).chr(204).chr(205).chr(206).chr(207).chr(209).chr(210)
                .chr(211).chr(212).chr(213).chr(214).chr(216).chr(217).chr(218)
                .chr(219).chr(221).chr(224).chr(225).chr(226).chr(227)
                .chr(228).chr(229).chr(231).chr(232).chr(233).chr(234).chr(235)
                .chr(236).chr(237).chr(238).chr(239).chr(241).chr(242).chr(243)
                .chr(244).chr(245).chr(246).chr(248).chr(249).chr(250).chr(251)
                .chr(253).chr(255);

            $chars['out'] = "EfSZszYcYuAAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOOUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiinoooooouuuuyy";

            $string = strtr($string, $chars['in'], $chars['out']);
            $double_chars['in'] = array(chr(140), chr(156), chr(198), chr(208), chr(222), chr(223), chr(230), chr(240), chr(254), chr(220), chr(252));
            $double_chars['out'] = array('OE', 'oe', 'AE', 'DH', 'TH', 'ss', 'ae', 'dh', 'th', 'Ue', 'ue');
            $string = str_replace($double_chars['in'], $double_chars['out'], $string);
        }

but it had no affect. The Company Name Hüttinger is still Huttinger (should be Huettinger).

Next thing I tried was to replace the – with a -
I found it's the value 150, so I added it to the one block and added - to the chars out line

Code:

            // Assume ISO-8859-1 if not UTF-8
            $chars['in'] = chr(128).chr(131).chr(138).chr(142).chr(154).chr(158)
                .chr(159).chr(162).chr(165).chr(181).chr(192).chr(193).chr(194)
                .chr(195).chr(196).chr(197).chr(199).chr(200).chr(201).chr(202)
                .chr(203).chr(204).chr(205).chr(206).chr(207).chr(209).chr(210)
                .chr(211).chr(212).chr(213).chr(214).chr(216).chr(217).chr(218)
                .chr(219).chr(221).chr(224).chr(225).chr(226).chr(227)
                .chr(228).chr(229).chr(231).chr(232).chr(233).chr(234).chr(235)
                .chr(236).chr(237).chr(238).chr(239).chr(241).chr(242).chr(243)
                .chr(244).chr(245).chr(246).chr(248).chr(249).chr(250).chr(251)
                .chr(253).chr(255).chr(150);

            $chars['out'] = "EfSZszYcYuAAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOOUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiinoooooouuuyy-";

Also with no affect, so I think I understood the code wrong.

I posted my test job again, after each change and also cleared the cache of my template. Not success!

Is there someone who can help me?
Thanks, Ralf
