Pretty urls my ass
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Well, after a little more than a week I think it's safe to say that I will be trashing my concrete5 installation and moving on to find some other cms that will actually allow me to manage content. Trying to find simple answers to what should be simple questions is like trying to find the holy grail. And as far as the "pretty url" crap goes, you should just remove it from what you're trying to sell us... doesn't freakin work, and from the endless limited posts I can find on the subject, it obviously doesn't work for anyone, except someone that is going to edit and change serious config files and re-invent the wheel. Why do you even have the audacity to have it presented like a simple choice?
Exactly my thoughts (well, not quite exactly)!
Guys, transliteration for non-latin characters? Can I haz?

It's pretty easy. Just enable the pretty Urls in your dashboard and then copy and paste the code into an .htaccess file that you put in your root directory.
If you need help just ask. Lots of people around here love helping out and think Concrete5 is great!

Didn't work for URLs with non-latin characters.
Also, I would like that to become an automatic process by using the title. Like WordPress. Kinda makes sense.

Can you explain a little more what you mean by this? We might already have it in the latest development version. Maybe give an example?
And to the original poster: pretty URLs do work. This site and thousands of others are examples of that. Configuration can sometimes be an issue but this isn't something that we can easily solve for every single web server and PHP configuration on Earth. I'm sorry if you're experiencing trouble with this but it is difficult for us to troubleshoot without more details.

Sorry for the late response.
WordPress manages to process URLs with non-latin characters by UTFizing them via htmlentities(), I think.
When you manually set a C5 page to have an URL with non-latin characters, it simply doesn't work. Try setting this word as the URL for a page: начало.
Not quite sure if this goes for all non-latin languages but at least cyrillic symbols are problematic.
