v. 2.6.2 : site map : missing index letter "E"

v. 2.6.2 : site map : missing index letter "E"

Dear Sirs

There is a recent problem with letter entries on our site map. We tried to find its origin but with no success.

(Attached file with all screenshots: pt20100201-20100301-screenshots.tar.bz2 )

Problem
As you may see in screenshot 1, there is no "E" entry available on the menu (but there are FAQs starting with "E").

However, using a "functional letter" and replacing it by "E" in the URL the FAQs list starting with this letter is displayed (screenshot 4).

Are other users experimenting this problem?

Kind regards

Hi,

the "É" isn't in the list in the code, this is the issue...

Thanks for your quick answer.

the "É" isn't in the list in the code, this is the issue...

The FAQ record starting with “É” was deactivated.
It worked: the “E” letter appears again on the sitemap menu (and the correspondent list of entries is displayed).

So, if the first FAQ record on a list starts with a non US-ASCII character a) all entries without the diacritic in the letter are not displayed and b) the letter will not appear on the site map menu?

This is a problem for languages that use characters outside the US-ASCII charset.

1. Are you planning to support them?
2. If not, the solution is to replace the PHP and/or HTML code with manual entries? (in:
   • sitemap.php

     Code: Select all

     'writeLetters'       => $sitemap->getAllFirstLetters(),

   • sitemap.tpl

     Code: Select all

     <p>{writeLetters}</p>

Kind regards

Hi,

we already added Chinese, Korean and Japanese characters. I could add the non-ascii characters, too.

Problem: Site map entries with diacritical characters (also in v. 2.6.11)
..
Dear Thorsten Rinne

In the next phpMyFAQ version, please make the display of site map’s entries beginning with diacritical characters available as a built-in feature.

On our site map, toc entries (and lists) appear / disappear frequently, especially because the "É" letter is very common.

As reported before, this situation occurs only when the first entry (question) of a list begins with a diacritical character.

In Portuguese (and simplifying) diacritical characters aren't considered "different letters" and are listed on the same entry as the non-diacritical "version" (there are some details in ordering but in this situation this isn't important: we prefer to see all list entries....)

As you know, in other languages this is not always the case.

Kind regards
