Summary: Permalinks broken for some UTF8 characters

Initial Comment:
v1.0-beta2 (also present in the trunk on BerliOS)

The serendipity_makeFilename() function in
include/functions_permalinks.inc.php tries to apply the
utf8_decode() function to ALL utf-8 strings.

Unfortunately, when a character doesn't have a
ISO-8859-1 representation this function replaces it
with a ? (question mark), regardless of the original
character (it doesn't leave it intact).

This makes it impossible to use the $i18n_filename_from
and $i18n_filename_to variables for conversion (because
they are applied only after all "interesting"
characters have been converted to question marks).

This bug affects all locales that contain characters
not present in the ISO-8859-1 character set. An example
sentence is "Žluťoučký kůň příšerně úpěl ďábelské ódy"
from the czech locale which comes out of the
utf_decode() function as "?lu?ou?ký k?? p?í?ern? úp?l
?ábelskă ódy".

Hi!

Thanks a lot for bringing this to attention. I have
committed this fix:
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/serendipity?rev=1044&view=rev

This will do the utf8-transcoding AFTER the $i18n
transliteration. I think this should fix your problem? If
not, please report back!

Best regards,
Garvin
