Permalinks - Again! ☆

I’ve been working on a project recently that’s needed me to generate human readable (and Google readable) permalinks to pages. As a default these permalinks are generated from the title of the associated object. This was all working until I realised that I had words like ‘café’ in the title. Using my existing algorithm any letters other than A-Z, a-z were removed, thus turning ‘café’ into ‘caf’. Not very human or Google readable.

I found an excellent article on Obie Fernandez’s blog showing how he tackled this problem for a job he was working on and all is now wonderful again!!!
