Hi
There is some problems with Google Tap and Norwegian letters (probably other characters aswell). I write more about it here:
- http://gt.audioslaved.com/ftopict-358.html
and here:
http://gt.audioslaved.com/ftopict-357.html

They dont show up in the url correctly. Have anyone a solution to this?

Thanks,

Doesnt anyone know anything about this? I'm sure many users from different countries who have problems with this!?

The only thing I can suggest perhaps (I'd have to look into it), is to use [:print:] (or maybe [:alnum:]) in the regex code.

I wrote a very simple solution myself, but I think its good enough!?

For nukecops google tap:
Find this line in header.php:

Code:

$s = preg_replace($urlin, $urlout, $s);

and after this on a new line, add this:

Code:

$s = rawurldecode($s);

For GT-NExtGeN:
Find this line:

Code:

$contents = str_replace(array("&&", "·", " "), array("&&", "·", " ;"), $contents);

and after this on a new line add this:

Code:

$contents = rawurldecode($contents);

This will replace every (%) signs followed by two hex digits and replace it with literal characters. For example "%E5" is replaced with: "å".

This should work for all characters in the world as long as Apache have the character set installed and activated.

Great find, I will look into adding this into the main NExtGEn distro, I will definitely have it there will comments there so people can uncomment if they have the need for it. Good job!

Thanks man! Very nice that you will implenment it, cause I'm sure there will be some need for this out there. There are after all many countries that have this special characters (not only scandinavian, germany for instance).
This fix works for every browser I've tested, except Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox (only tested the windows version). Little suprising really :-/
I'll send a bug report to Mozilla about this.

Keep up the good work!
