Joomla forces the Title Alias to be lowercase.
The Title Alias is used in Joomla SEF URL.
Some reasons to allow uppercase in SEF URL:
- conform to an incoming url that has uppercase characters in it.
- using uppercase is better for SEO some say.
This is a core edit that could be overwritten on the next Joomla update.
Backup first.
The file to edit is:
libraries/joomla/filter/filterout.php
Around line 94 change this :
$str = trim(strtolower($str));
return $str;
to this:
$str = trim($str);
return $str;
Perhaps a better way to handle this would be to force all incoming urls to be lowercase using htaccess (along with RewriteMap or possibly mod_speling), but on a shared server this may not be possible.
