Foreign characters in path name?
Hello,

is there a possibility to use exactly the Category_Name for the name of the Category-Path?

e.g.:

The Category "News & Events" is:
--> www.domain.com/links/News_&_Events/

Thanks in advance!

Coyu

No. Some characters are reserved characters on different operating systems, and it will cause problems down the road. Better to play it safe and not use anything that can cause problems.

BTW... the other problem with '&' specifically, is that in a URL, it's used as the extra-path token information separator:

?key=value&key2=value2&key3=value3

Can cause a lot of confusion in trying to parse the paths and form data.
