Imported category tree

Hi,

I've imported a complete category tree, with a lot of categories, yesterday – worked like a charm! But I've discovered an issue. There are categories with special chars (German Umlaute: ä, ü, ö, ß). When I try to open one of these categories in the frontend i get a 404. The URL generated by Joomla/Hika is fine (e.g.: Kostüme > http://xxx/kostueme). I have figured out that open the category in Backend and save it solves the 404, because the alias field is empty in the database after the import.
Do you have any idea how i can automate the generation of the category alias?

Regards

Carsten

Edit: Sorry, missed the right category for this thread

I solved it by myself with a simple script.

Hi,

There is no option to automate the alias creation.
An easy alternative is to turn off the option "Remove products and categories id in URLs" of the configuration.
That way, the system will base itself on the category id, and not the category name/alias in order to know the category to use.
