Hi,
how can I create aliases for book pages?
I want create aliases as follows:

mywebsite.com/book-title/page-parent1/page-parent2/page-title

I cannot find any tokens to achieve this. Is it possible in D7?

Hi,

I have the same problem.
So, if someone had an solution, it would be great !
I already tried Node Hierarchy, but it's redundant with the main goal of Book which is... hierarchizing.

Thanks in advance !

In D7, when you're on the page to edit the URL Aliases (assuming you have pathauto enabled, it is: "Home » Administration » Configuration » Search and metadata » URL aliases" ), you will need to click the "replacement patterns" item in each section, which will list the tokens.

Here is a snip from my drupal site (note I didn't expand all the tokens ;):

yes, you are right. I didn't noticed these tokens because they were collapsed.
Thank you
Tomas

Hi everybody,
can you please help me to set the right tokens for my auto path?
I would like to have all my books ordered in a way similar to "books/BookName/ChapterName/SectionName/...../BookPage" but i can't manage to make it work.
I have tried to set: "books/[book:root:title]/[book:parent:title]/[book:title]"
but it is not enough recursive....

It would be great if somebody could give me a hand on this!.
Thanks in advance,
Luca

Hi tomas.teicher,

Go to /admin/build/path/pathauto
And, in the "Node paths" section, set "Pattern for all Book page paths" as follows:
[bookpath-raw]/[title-raw]

It worked fine for me.

Hope this will help you too..:)

Hi, what was the solution for this? I also want a recursive token that includes all the parents. Thanks.

lucacerone commented

So that it can help all the others, this has worked for me:
[node:book:parent:url:alias]/[node:book:title]

[node:book:parent:url:alias] is not a valid token.

This works currently:
[node:book:parent:url:path]/[node:book:title]

[node:book:parent:url:path]/[node:book:title] works for me too.

That gave an error, cant contain more than one token.
I got another code from one site [node:book:parent:parent:parent]/[node:book:parent:parent]/[node:book:parent]/[node:title] it worked for me http://vision4life.in

That is not a great solution unless you know all your book pages are going to have the same number of parents.

I've read everything on this page, and tried every combo I can think of, and just not getting anywhere. Extremely frustrated. What am I missing?

I'm looking for a url alias for a book content-type with a child content-type...

/{section}/{book title}/{page title}

{section} is a field in the book content-type, and I've got the book pattern working perfectly fine [node:field_section]/[node:title]
ie. /health/immunizations

It's just the child page (scheduling), I can't seem to get it's parent book url into the page alias.
ie. /health/immunizations/scheduling

Please help.

Have you tried this one - http://drupal.org/node/1212684#comment-5578054

Beltanin commented

It comes up with "array" instead of any value. However, I'm going to look more into it. It's got to be possible.

For Drupal 8 use this:

[node:book:parents:join-path]/[node:book:url]
