Hi,

i need to remove any dots from the url_title.
I try to modify config.php in this way:

$config[‘permitted_uri_chars’] = ‘a-z 0-9’;

but dots are still included in url_title field.

How can it be resolved?

Hi, Filippo_Me,

That is a CodeIgniter setting, not one that applies to EE.  There is not an out of the box way to remove periods from the URL titles.

Are you having a specific problem with those period that we might be able to assist with?

What I need is to prevent the use of the point in the url_title

This is a simply solution:

Edit:
themes/javascript/compressed/jquery/plugins/ee_url_title.js

To:

(function(e){EE.namespace("EE.publish");e.fn.ee_url_title=function(h,f){return this.each(function(){var b=EE.publish.default_entry_title?EE.publish.default_entry_title:"",c=EE.publish.word_separator?EE.publish.word_separator:"_",i=EE.publish.foreignChars?EE.publish.foreignChars:{},a=e(this).val()||”“,j=RegExp(c+”{2,}”,“g”),d=c!==“_”?/\_/g:/\-/g,g=”“,k=EE.publish.url_title_prefix?EE.publish.url_title_prefix:”“;typeof f!==“boolean”&&(f=!1);b!==”“&&e(this).attr(“id”)===“title”&&a.substr(0,b.length)===
b&&(a=a.substr(b.length));a=(k+a).toLowerCase().replace(d,c);for(b=0;b<a.length;b++)d=a.charCodeAt(b),d>=32&&d<128?g+=a.charAt(b):d in i&&(g+=i[d]);a=g.replace(”/<(.*?)>/g”,”“);a=a.replace(/\s+/g,c);a=a.replace(/\//g,c);a=a.replace(/[^a-z0-9\-\_]/g,”“);a=a.replace(/\+/g,c);a=a.replace(j,c);a=a.replace(/^[\-\_]|[\-\_]$/g,”“);a=a.replace(/\.+$/g,”“);f&&(a=a.replace(/\./g,”“));h&&e(h).val(a.substring(0,75))})}})(jQuery);

Hey there Filippo_Me,

Just remember that hack when you go to update ExpressionEngine!

Is there anything else I can help with?

Cheers,
