Cyrillic charset problem

[Niks]

Hi,
I have the same problem but on phpbb2. When forum name or topic name is on cyrylic the link is viewtopic?f=1 , but when the forum is on english the link is test-f1.html. Please help.

Thank you and beer.

It's a lot harder with phpBB2 since it's not handling utf-8. So special characters are htmlentified, and thus harder to filter.

But you could add a static array of the htmentified characters to replace in the format_url method, and use it to replace them the same way.

Why not just converting to phpBB3, since the day will come where you will have to do it ?

Because i have too much mods on my phpbb2. Has got any alternative way to work links where title is on cyrillic?

Well, you could try to pass the replacement code from there through htmlentities(), and then apply it the same way as we did there for phpBB3, in the format_url method.
