Product creation - URL deletes accent character instead of replacing it

[kokosmin]

Prestashop 1.7.7.8

The character deleted from title to URL is ”ț” and is not replaced with ”t”. The character successfully replaces now is ”ţ” which is the wrong character for Romanian and should not be not present in ro-RO character table or at least added with the ”ț”.

I can see why it would be present, but it's an old variant used in Windows XP default fonts.
To be clear, cedilla ț    is not correct in Romanian   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedilla

Hi,

Are you still stuck into this?

I have the solution, if you still need

[kokosmin]

Hello. Sure, the problem persisted.

In a few words, the tools.php file located in the /classes folder must be overwritten.
I can send you step-by-step instructions in a few hours, including the file in question.
Keep in mind, however, that this solution is only valid for prestashop 1.7.
If you have upgraded to prestashop 8 it will not work

I don't no why but i can't attach the file.
So, I will explain below how to solve this: 
1. Using an editor (eg. notepad++), create a blank file and  paste the code below:

<?php

class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
    public static function str2url($str)
    {
        static $array_str = [];
        static $allow_accented_chars = null;
		$str = str_replace(array('Ș', 'ș', 'Ț', 'ț'), array('S', 's', 'T', 't'), $str);
        static $has_mb_strtolower = null;

        if ($has_mb_strtolower === null) {
            $has_mb_strtolower = function_exists('mb_strtolower');
        }

        if (!is_string($str)) {
            return false;
        }

        if (isset($array_str[$str])) {
            return $array_str[$str];
        }

        if ($str == '') {
            return '';
        }

        if ($allow_accented_chars === null) {
            $allow_accented_chars = Configuration::get('PS_ALLOW_ACCENTED_CHARS_URL');
        }

        $return_str = trim($str);

        if ($has_mb_strtolower) {
            $return_str = mb_strtolower($return_str, 'utf-8');
        }
        if (!$allow_accented_chars) {
            $return_str = Tools::replaceAccentedChars($return_str);
        }

        // Remove all non-whitelist chars.
        if ($allow_accented_chars) {
            $return_str = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s\'\:\/\[\]\-\p{L}]/u', '', $return_str);
        } else {
            $return_str = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s\'\:\/\[\]\-]/', '', $return_str);
        }

        $return_str = preg_replace('/[\s\'\:\/\[\]\-]+/', ' ', $return_str);
        $return_str = str_replace([' ', '/'], '-', $return_str);

        // If it was not possible to lowercase the string with mb_strtolower, we do it after the transformations.
        // This way we lose fewer special chars.
        if (!$has_mb_strtolower) {
            $return_str = Tools::strtolower($return_str);
        }

        $array_str[$str] = $return_str;

        return $return_str;
    }
}

2. Save the file on your computer, choosing "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor" (.php) as type and name it "Tools".
3.Copy the saved file into "yourdomain.ro\override\classes\'
4. Go to BackOffice->Advanced parameters->Performance and clear cache.
5. Test your product url.
That's it

I did this exactly like you instructed, but no chages. See attached file.
