The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Currently, the 'pattern' settings is domain sensitive, but only one pattern url alias can exist.
Is this possible for auto generating different url alias for different domains?

agentrickardThe pattern setting is only domain sensitive if using Domain Settings module.
With that module, auto-generating a path per domain is possible, yes.

rogical commentedThe pattern settings is do domain sensitive, but when generate path alias, it's not.
The alias seems not domain sensitive yet, only language sensitive.

agentrickardTwo issues you would have to overcome here:
1)
pathauto_create_aliasdoes not allow for dynamic changes to the $pattern variable, which we would need to perform this calculation. (hook_pathauto_alias_alter() does not provide enough context for this action.)2) A mechanism for declaring that one wanted to generate a path alias for new nodes would have to be added to the interface.
I am not interested in working around either problem at the moment. This module was never intended to mass-produce alternate aliases. Setting a unique alias per domain should be a very rare case.
If someone wants to work on the two problems above, patches are welcome.

agentrickardIf anyone cares, here's half a patch that illustrates the problems above.

Ddroid_za commentedNot sure if this will help anyone, had a similar request, maybe not applicable to everyone's use case. By using the panels module I was able to get different content on the same url alias. So /about-foo had different content on domain 1 and domain 2.
Thanks for all the hard work on this!
