Greetings:

I am using the last version of pathauto and I'd really like to use the " Create a new alias. Leave the existing alias functioning." behaviour. But, although it does create a new alias, the default alias of the node is the old one and not the new one.
Ex: pattern for node: [title]
I create my node with the title "foo". The path is then /foo
I change the title to "bar". The path /bar is created but if I put this node on the frontpage or in a block the path is still /foo.
Is it the normal beahviour ? If it is the case, are you considering to add this case also in the choices (or do you take some patches) ?
Thank you for your great module.

I would accept a patch for this, but it requires work in the path module first to be able to say which path is the lower value path.

On the other hand - perhaps you could use the path redirect module and which enables a new update action for "Create a new path, redirect old alias" action which I believe provides the feature you want. See path redirect integration instructions

I'm marking this as fixed because I think the second suggestion will work for you. If not or if you have further questions please re-open it.

Hi greggles,
thank you for your quick reply. I actually read the part you have been mentioning several times... but I actually missed the most important part, installing the Path redirect module.

This is exactly what I need, thank a lot for pointing it again.
Best regards

No problem - perhaps I should make a video showing off all the new features (like that one) to really show how all these things work...hmmm
