I have installed autopath and am trying to remove the word "node" from the paths displayed in the URL. I don't have time to read all the documentation as our site is launching tonight. Does anyone know a "pattern" I can use to rename the forum paths? Thank you!

Here's the path I use for
Here's the path I use for "Pattern for all Forum topic paths" on my Drupal 7 forum site:
[node:taxonomy-forums:vocabulary]/[node:taxonomy-forums:parent]/[node:taxonomy-forums:name]/[node:nid]This makes:
forums/forum-section-name/forum-category/forum-category/node#
Along with this is use the following for "Pattern for forums and forum containers":
[term:vocabulary]/[term:parent:name]/[term:name]You can use other tokens if you want (there is a large list of available ones depending on your preferences). Here's another one you might prefer:
forum/[node:taxonomy-forums:name]/[node:title]This would make a path like this:
forum/name-of-forum-category/title-of-forum-post

Thank you so much for your response. I got the following error message when I tried to use your patterns:
The Pattern for all Forum topic paths is using the following invalid tokens: [node:taxonomy-forums:vocabulary], [node:taxonomy-forums:parent], [node:taxonomy-forums:name].
Any ideas? Do I need to do something with the token module?
Thank you for your help and patience!

Ah perhaps one or more of those tokens are provided by http://drupal.org/project/entity

I'm sorry, I don't understand
I'm sorry, I don't understand how to use that module to fix this problem...
Just install the two modules
Just install the two modules that come with it: Entity API and Entity tokens ... revisit your Pathauto patterns page, and (hopefully) the tokens will then be valid and you'll be able to save the settings.

Thank You!
Wow! That was so incredibly helpful :) It is working!
Is there any way to create a new alias for the forums but not for my webpages? The forums that already has a post in it has the same URL (with the word node in it); however, I don't want all of my pages to be renamed (I manually typed in unique urls for them).
Great glad it's working

Yes you can update any nodes that do not yet have an alias by using the Bulk Update tab (check the "Content paths" option and click Update). If you already have aliases for the nodes though and also have manual aliases created, it will be more problematic. Don't use the "Delete Aliases" tab in this case, as it does not make any distinction between automatic and manual/custom aliases (personally I never use manual aliases ever for any reason because of this). If you only have a few aliases with the wrong path, then the best method would be to go to the URL Aliases "List" tab and manually delete the incorrect ones, then use the Bulk Update tab to correctly generate them. Alternately you can visit the forum nodes in question, Edit them, and check the Automatic alias option before saving.
