Hi,

I have create a data field and i have a filter in this information.

The data format is d/m/Y
The url of the filter is like

Hi PaoloB,
can you test it with the SVN-Version -> http://code.google.com/p/typolight-cata ... e/checkout
The strange thing is, that the catalog makes it with the core features (alias generating etc.) so i don't know where the Problem is..
When this is also in the newest Version would it be great when you make a ticket there -> http://code.google.com/p/typolight-catalog/issues/list

Than the developer can fix it.

This is because a "slash /" is an illegal character in an alias, so it MUST be replaced. The reason your other dateformat works is because Contao is clever enough to realise that the dateformat you pass is in ISO. The slash format you originally pass is NOT URL safe. There are language strings (check default.php) where you can specify the translation of the special characters, so you can make it something else, other than slash...
