i'm not a experienced web developer. i was hired by a company that uses codecharge, and was told since i know html really well i should have no problems....which has turned out to not be the case.
either way i appreciate any help the more experienced developers can give.
i have managed to figure out how to create dynamic SEF URLs by changing certain things in the html and htaccess files. urls that look like: www.mywebsite.com/content/Keyword Phrase here/
however, while that works, it's been brought to my attention that instead of spaces in the url there needs to be dashes, so search bots will read them better. like: www.mywebsite.com/content/Keyword-Phrase-here/
If "Keyword Phrase here" is data in a field that has been entered and is being passed to the URL by a link that displays "Keyword Phrase here", how can i, with codecharge, replace those spaces with dashes? i know there's replace commands in php, but how would i go about doing that in CCS? create a label and make it equal to something.....or maybe make an event for the link that's passing the text field? i'm really not sure.
thanks for any help you can provide

That's right, it is improper for any file name or URL to have spaces in
it whether it's an HTML file, an image name or a script. Some browsers
replace the space with a %20 while others simply give a "page not found"
error when they come to the first space and think that's the end of the
name. (I prefer underscores to dashes.)
In your case, it's not a CodeCharge Studio question but rather a PHP
one. I'm going from memory here but you'll probably need to add a
BeforeShow event to the label or link, and add the PHP urlencode()
function (see www.php.net for details), something like:
$GridName->LabelName->SetValue(urlencode($GridName->LabelName->GetValue()));
I'm heading out of town shortly so if I don't have this quite right,
someone else is free to jump in and take over!
I am having the opposite problem as you, being well-versed in CCS to the
point that I've forgotten "real" PHP and other programming! I need a job
like yours where CCS is used.

In your form field's OnValidate event, add Custom Code:
$Component->SetValue(str_replace(" ","-",$Component->GetValue());
There's also a way to handle this with Apache's mod_rewrite, but I don't
know how. Google it... should be quite common.

this works for a before show event
$gridname->pieceInGrid->SetValue(urlencode($gridname->pieceInGrid->GetValue()));

oops forgot also:
$GridName->pieceInGrid->SetValue(str_replace(" ","-",$GridName->pieceInGrid->GetValue()));
works perfect in the BeforeShow of the pieceInGrid, not the entire grid.
this'll change it to a dash
