Regarding the feature on character replacement on my SEO package it seems that it will only replace the titles if it was inserted into a utf-8 char Database.
So for those who are seeking character replacement, you have to change the collation of ibf_topics’s title to utf-8.
Here is the SQL I ran on my development board running mysql5:
ALTER TABLE `ibf_topics` CHANGE `title` `title` VARCHAR( 250 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL
please post any bugs that you may find
does anyone knows if there is any other information about this subject in other languages?
on the new version i was able to convert some turkish and most german characters.
but when it came to russian it didn’t want to do anything.
BTW you have to set you board charset to utf-8 or any appropriate character set
You can also try iconv //translit, i find that to be the best automated translit to use.
