URL encoding for specialcharcters won'r work.

[roottr]

Hello,

It seems Lobster won't correctly encode URl for special characters.

For example:

shows as > s/xociqc/tesla_11_bin_adet_model_x_arac_n_geri_r_yor

should be > s/xociqc/tesla_11_bin_adet_model_x_aracini_geri_cagriyor

Would you know how to fix this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

This isn't a bug to be fixed. Not every character is valid in a URL and Story#title_as_url reflects this with the gsub a few lines down: gsub(/[^a-z0-9]/, "_"). If you'd rather leave out the non-ascii characters, replace the "_" with "".

Hi @pushcx thanks a lot for your response. Would you know also how I can encode turkish character such as title "başakı" to "basaki" ?

Thank you very much in advance.

It looks like parameterize does this.

This could replace the downcase and maybe some of the use of gsub in title_as_url. I'm reopening this issue, it would be a nice small feature. If you use this on your site, please open a pull request so the main Lobsters code can include it. (If you don't in a week or two, anyone reading this should feel free to do this and I've added the good first issue label.)
