Umlauts not transcribed correctly in custom user name module

[gebeer]

Hello,

I have a multilanguage page, running on PW 2.6.23.

This is a conversion of a german Joomla site which already has active members. It is a requirement to have a specific format for user names which are generated from the Full Name of a user:

"Test Üser" should become "Test_Ueser_1552", where 1552 is the user id. (note conversion of Umlaut Ü to Ue)

I have changed and added Umlaut conversion in the InputfieldPageName settings to read:

æ=ae
å=a
ä=ae
Ä=ae
ß=ss
ö=oe
Ö=oe
ü=ue
Ü=ue
...

I have created a "member" template based on the user template, following instructions here. This is all working fine and I can create member users.

My member template has a text field "fullname".

Now I have written a small module to create my custom user name format from the fullname field:

	public function init() {
		$this->pages->addHookBefore('Pages::saveReady', $this, 'renameMember');
	}

	protected function renameMember($event) {
		$page = $event->arguments[0]; 
		if($page->template != 'member') return;

		$sanitizer = wire('sanitizer');

		if($page->isChanged('fullname') && !empty($page->fullname)) {
			$name = $page->fullname;
			$newName = str_replace(" ", "_", $name) . "_" . $page->id;
			$newNameSave = $sanitizer->pageName($newName, "Sanitizer::translate");

			$page->name = $newNameSave;

			$message = __("Benutzername wurde angepasst: ") . $newNameSave ;
			$this->message($message);
		}
	}

But every time I try this, "Test Üser" becomes "test_ser_1552". The same goes for "Test üser".

If I try "Test Güser", I get "test_g-ser_1552". So ü gets replaed by a dash -.

When I create regular pages (e.g. basic-page template) the conversion of Ü and ü to ue for the page name is working just fine.

Could there be a problem with using $sanitizer->pageName($newName, "Sanitizer::translate"); inside a module?

Or is the username field treated differently from the page name field?

Any solution would be much appreciated.

Try without the "".

To clarify Soma's answer a bit:

$newNameSave = $sanitizer->pageName($newName, Sanitizer::translate);

It's a class constant not a string.

Thank you @Soma and @LostKobrakai

That did the trick

Got confused by the cheatsheet saying:

If second parameter is "Sanitizer::translate" it will use the language char conversion defined in InputfieldPageName module settings.

Or use new $sanitizer->pageNameTranslate(str)

[gebeer]

Or use new $sanitizer->pageNameTranslate(str)

Thanks for this one. Shorter is better
