Hi yellow1912,
Read many of your posts, thank you for the prompt reply.

the local.config.php is set correctly and also he.php is saved on hebrew-windows encoding as my hebrew.php file.
utf-8 doesn't work for me.

the url is www.israelijewel.com/zohar

[yellow1912]

@countrycharm: yes, it is: http://twitter.com/rubikint

@eavinu: should be he.php
Also, I suspect you are not using the latest version, where did you download it? Latest version can be grabbed here (totally free):

OK now i'm with Beta 3.7.1 and the problem of the url is gone but still going on a 404 page not found.

any suggestions?

[yellow1912]

After upgrading, make sure you recheck all the settings again, is multi language on? How about the config file?
If you want, I can take a look in the site for you, simple shoot me a pm with your temp admin and ftp login

Yellow1912 !! Thank you - great working module! Just fantastic!

I have one small question though..

My store is in Norwegian - we use the letters æ, ø, and å. (ÆØÅ)

Is it possible to get this shown as æ = ae, ø=o and å=aa?
OR of course as æ, ø, å.

I think I read earlier in this thred that I could make this by doing some coding in the parser_something - but can you give more spesific directions? :)

Thank you again - this rules!

[yellow1912]

Gomlers, yes you can.

First, assuming the language code for Norwegian is "no" (please check, Im not sure)

Create a file named no.php

Put it in includes/classes/ssu/plugins/languages/

Now, for the content of the file, put it:
(make sure this php file is utf8 encoded)

<?php

*/
    // note: we can later move part of this function into sub-functions, which we can store in the base class.
class SSULanguageNo extends SSULanguage{
    static function parseName($name){
        $cyrillic = array("æ",  "ø",  "å");
           
        $translit = array("ae", "o", "a");
        
        $name = str_replace($cyrillic, $translit, $name);
        
        $name = strtolower($name);
   
        // we replace any non alpha numeric characters by the name delimiter
        $name = self::removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        // Remove short words first
        $name = self::removeShortWords($name, SSUConfig::registry('configs', 'minimum_word_length'), SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        // trim the sentence
        $name = self::trimLongName($name);
                
        // remove excess SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name')
        $name = self::removeDelimiter($name);
        
        // remove identifiers
        $name = self::removeIdentifiers($name);
        
        // remove trailing _
        $name = trim($name, SSUConfig::registry('delimiters', 'name'));
        
        return urlencode($name);    
    }
}

Then rename local.config.php.example in includes/classes/ssu/ to local.config.php and edit it:

<?php
/**
* @package Pages
* @copyright Copyright 2003-2006 Zen Cart Development Team
* @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
* @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
* @version $Id: local.config.php.example 149 2009-03-04 05:23:35Z yellow1912 $
*/
    
    $ssuLocalConfig = array(      
        'languages'        =>    array(    'no'    =>    'no'
                                    )
    );

Then go to Admin->Extras->SSU Manager to clear out the cache then check your links again.
Troubleshooting:
1. Make sure the first file is uploaded with utf8 encode
2. Make sure the language code is correct (this is easy, in the normal form Zencart language links look like this: index.php?.......&language=language_code
More info:

Note that I assume the language code is "no"

Wow! Thank you for a perfect answer, and such quick reply - when this is the service you give for your free products... I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from you later :)
This really saves it - I have a lot of special characters in the product category-names/products-names, and it doesn't look real good right now ;)

Thank you again!! :)

[Gomlers]

I did what you said, and it works perfectly!

The only thing which didn't work was to save the first file as UTF-8, I needed to save it as ASCII.
Don't know why, but it works like a charm :)

Now I only need to go through the aliases and learn how they work - my URL's got a little too long.

Btw, what's the difference between the real rewritten link, and the alias? - What would google see?
