Despite being able to enter the URL aliases for the various node type displays ('&type=story'), calling up the alias for that node type ends up "not found." That goes for any node type, and any alias designated for it.

Using escape string & instead of "&" alone is not accepted in the URL alias function, so that's not the problem.

This is a nice function to have, but it would be nicer to be able to actually alias the URLs, as with any other path.

Thanks.

So basically this module is useless if nice-urls and/or path-alias are used?

Not useless, just not performing as expected within Drupal conventions and settings.

For me, the problem was elsewhere. It seems that the filter will only list elements that are already promoted to the front page. To me, that looked like the module didn't work, because all my special type elements were not on the front.

Just because -- as I noted in an issue you opened for this -- you were filtering the 'node' page. The node type filter module has nothing to with promoted setting.

@Gabriel: This filter requires some type of query that selects nodes, such as the front page query or "taxonomy/term/xxx". The module does not, in and of itself, select nodes.

@Laura: Is this still a problem in 5.x?
