Search Engine Friendly Titles

(5 posts)
  1. We have now added full support into the search and the cart to strip out any unfriendly charactors, the only charactors to be left in are - & _

    All titles are now really clean and will transfer to your website in the same way no matter how the original poster applied the title.

    Hello admin. Well, what you posted isn't 100% accurate. A lot of that depends on where the videoclip came from. Example:

    I'm using a translated version of vShare 2.6 in germany. There, the use of special characters such as ... Ä - Ü - Ö - ß - ä - ü - ö ... are almost as common as standard vowels. All of the translated files use the correct UTF encoding in order to display such characters, and all of that works fine too, throughout the entire site.

    BUT ... if I select clips from videoswiper which originally came from germany, in other words, clips that already contained such special characters since the german user made use of them in their upload descriptions ... then those characters ARE NOT displayed correctly on our server. Every single clip that has such characters shows up instead with something like ... heck, it's not even on my keyboard. But each of those shows up with TWO other, incorrect characters instead. In other words, instead of the word SCHÖN that's part of the clip description, I end up with SCH§#N instead (different symbols though). Then I have to edit those descriptions in order to replace such characters with the correct ones. This is as of September 25th 2008 with vShare version 2.6 and the properly installed Mod from videoswiper.
    Greetings from Germany.

  3. Hi

    In your settings you have a setting to turn on or off support for UTF-8 and special charactors, its called safe search.

    Always make use of that feature if your from a non english country and want the results to yeild special charactors.
