I am trying to remove these quotes ” from the alias generation pattern. Note, these are different from the regular ones ". However, when I add those in, the automatic generation of the alias does not work, it stays blank.
I tried inserting the quote character like this:
/[\0\x0B\t\n\r\f\a&=+%#<>"”~:`@\?\[\]\{\}\|\^'\\]/
^
What am I doing wrong?
I tested this on a fresh installation of MODX 3.0.4 (system setting friendly_alias_restrict_chars_pattern) and I can’t reproduce the issue.
The apostrophes get correctly removed from the resource alias.
Are there maybe other related settings you have changed? Any translit extras installed?
Hmm… that’s interesting. I have the following extras installed:
Also I don’t think I changed any specific settings. Just to confirm, can you test my pagetitle which is not working (but should):
Unsere “Pausenband”
There are 2 different apostrophe characters in this title. “ and ”.
I can reproduce the empty alias, if I only add ” to the system setting. I seems to work fine when I add both of them “”.
I debugged it, and to fix the issue (even with only ” in it), add the u (unicode) modifier to the end of the regular expression:
/[\0\x0B\t\n\r\f\a&=+%#<>"”~:`@\?\[\]\{\}\|\^'\\]/u
^
Thank you for testing this. When I try it though, the second one get’s removed, but the first one stays. Here is the result:
unsere-“pausenband
Yes, the u is just to remove the error (the blank alias).
To remove both characters, add both of them to the regex:
/[\0\x0B\t\n\r\f\a&=+%#<>"“”~:`@\?\[\]\{\}\|\^'\\]/u
Sorry, I missed your first response. Thanks, working great!
