CoolUri is one of the famosts Typo3 extensions for search engine and user friendly urls. The default configuration of the extension makes use of a page’s name to generate an accoring URL segment.

If you are working on a website with a german language support in the frontend, it might happen, that some pages have a German umlaut in their page name. The default configuration of CoolUri results in URL segments that are cutted off at the first occurence of a German umlaut. To solve this problem, you will need to change the character conversion mode in the configuration.

Open your CoolURI.conf file and search for the string
<urlize>1</urlize>
Replace it with the string
<t3conv>1</t3conv>

Furthermore, search for the xml tag <pagepath> And add another <t3conv>1</t3conv> inside this tag.

When this is done and you saved the file, open the CoolUri module on the left and choose “Delete Everything and start again” on the “Delete/Update all” tab.
