URL segments with special chars

[suntrop]

I am using images tags as links and some tags contain special characters (like schwarzweiß). Links are pointing to a URL segment.

Problem is, URL with special chars are not working. I added $config->pageNameCharset = 'UTF8'; in my config file but still I see a 404 on URL with special chars.

Any idea?

In order to have UTF8 support in URLs you have to define a whitelist as well.

See here: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/page-name-charset-utf8/

With "social chars" you mean Umlaute? I guess... so you can have those either with the UTF8 page name support or you transform the classics like ä,ö,ü, and ß to ae, oe, ue, ans ss within the page name settings.

You will find it here: domain.tld/processwire/module/edit?name=InputfieldPageName

Yes, I am speaking of Umlauts like äöü and ß. 

I did enable UTF8 page names and the whitelist contains all chars I need. However, it still shows a 404 for pages containing special chars.

Just played around with UTF8 page names here in a local setup and it throws 404s here as well.

Can't really say why as I rarely use that feature. I might have to dig a little deeper into this.

I can't remember I have used this before. Especially for URL segments. But the website uses a lot of image tags. Unfortunately tags are saved as simple strings not with slugs alongside.

Have you switched section 16A for 16B in .htaccess?

Yes, but nothing changed. Once there is any non ascii character I get a 404.

BTW: it doesn't work with page URL either. I can create/save a page with name like teßtpage but get a 404 here as well. So it doesn't seem to be URL segments problem only

I am using pW 3.0.165

Mh, following the 4 steps from the blog works fine for me on 3.0.172 (in fact, i believe step 2 hasn’t been necessary for a while). Can you confirm that the config takes by putting var_dump($config->pageNameCharset, $config->pageNameWhitelist); into a template somewhere? Btw, just uncommenting 16B in .htaccess won’t do. You must also disable 16A.

Yes, can confirm and I had disabled 16A

Just upgraded to current dev version. It got kind of worse. When I save a page with the pagename "teßtpage" the field is empty after admin page reloads. DB has a wrong punycode of "xn-stseite". However, saving "testsäite" will save but still results in a 404.
