    Special characters in Umbraco 7 url

    Hi Guys,

    I ye olde times we could change which special characters should be changed when Umbraco creates url's. We could do that in the umbracoSettings.config file as explained many places including here: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/3356-Rewriting-characters-in-URL

    How do we do that in Umbraco 7? I can't find the functionality. Am I blind or have it been removed?

    How would I do it?

    /Rune

    Hi Rune,

    I believe Umbraco does this automatically for you now, so you don't have to worry about it.

    Regards

    Craig

    I thought as much. I just have a customer asking if we can change e.g. é to e. It dosn't look like it I guess

    Hi Rune

    I have also noticed that the UrlReplacing has been removed or changed although it seems it should add the basic stuff: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=urlReplacing

    But on some of our Umbraco Cloud projects I don't have this entry in umbracoSettings.config .. not sure it happens only, when installing Umbraco via NuGet?

    However I have noticed replacing of characters not are consistent, where æ, ø and å characters where replaced, but not Æ, Ø and Å.

    In one of our projects a have the following in /Config/umbraoSettings.config:

    <requestHandler>
    <!-- this will ensure that urls are unique when running with multiple root nodes -->
    <useDomainPrefixes>false</useDomainPrefixes>
    <!-- this will add a trailing slash (/) to urls when in directory url mode -->
    <addTrailingSlash>false</addTrailingSlash>
    <urlReplacing removeDoubleDashes="false" toAscii="false">
      <char org="Æ">ae</char>
      <char org="Ø">oe</char>
      <char org="Å">aa</char>
      <char org="æ">ae</char>
      <char org="ø">oe</char>
      <char org="å">aa</char>
      <char org="é">e</char>
    </urlReplacing>
</requestHandler>
