I’m have tired to use the single event code but there is a problem with non english letters. In danish we have ø æ å and an event with this title nave dos not work. Can this be helped?

Hi Rasmus,

Could you post an example of an event name?

Also, are you saying that the event doesn’t load at all due to the letters in the event slug?

this event is called FÅ STYR PÅ DINE ANSATTE

and the short code is.

[SINGLEEVENT single_event_id=”f%c3%a5-styr-p%c3%a5-dine-ansatte-1-54291e1b123a8″]

All other events with æ ø å dos not work

Hi,

I looked at this in the event editor and I was able to find a workaround.

The event identifier locks after the first save of an event. If you switch the letters out and save, then you can go back and update the title.

Here is a quick video to show the workaround:

Hi Rasmus,

We have a fix for this included within the next version of Event Espresso 3, if you would like to apply the fix yourself until that version is released open up event-espresso/includes/event-management/insert_event.php line 84:

$event_identifier = sanitize_title_with_dashes($event_name . '-' . $event_code);

Change that to:

$event_identifier = sanitize_title_with_dashes(remove_accents($event_name . '-' . $event_code));

That will remove the accents from the event identifier when the event is created which prevents this issue. The title will still contain the accents and should not be affected. This will not remove the accents from events that have already been created.

Do your events with accents currently have registrations or can they be re-created?
