MtTagName normalize

By Andras on Mar 25, 2009 at 9:17 AM 1 Vote 0 Votes

Hi,
I have a requirement build my urls based on the Tag of the entry, so example "My Tag" would become "my_tag".
The normalize function for MtTagName strips all special chars (even space) and I get "mytag", this is a little bit strange if you look at category basenames and so on, there spaces are converted to "_".
I have modified 2 files (one pm and one php file) to achieve what I want but I don't know why this "normalize" behaves that way.
Also there is no support for tags in Archive Mapping It would be nice to have
%t or %-t there also.

Thanks.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
