Hello,

The solution to my question is probably very simple, but i just can't find it...
If i make an alias for the urls of my nodes based on their title, the url that directs to the edit page of this node (node/x/edit), does not change to myurlbasedontitle/edit.

Can somebody explain me how to do this ?

Thanks for your help,
Martin

Have you tried using clean urls? I'm not sure it would fix this specific issue, but it does take care of pages that are something like
http://mywebsite.com/node/123
changing to
http://mywebsite.com/MyNeatoPage
for isntance. ;0)

Otherwise, I'm not sure if that's even possible... but I'm pretty new to actual Drupal usage/development myself - maybe a month.. ;0)

Hey, thx for wanting to help me. But what you state is not completely correct... i'll explain...

Clean urls just removes the '?q='-string from the urls. For example: http://www.mywebsite.com/?q=node/123 will turn into http://www.mywebsite.com/node/123.

The path module (in core) can define url aliases. For example: http://www.mywebsite.com/node/123 can for instance get the alias http://www.mywebsite.com/myneatopage. With the pathauto module (http://drupal.org/project/pathauto), you can automate this process.

I was thus wondering if urls with extra arguments (eg. edit, like in /node/123/edit), could be changed into an alias taking the same arguments... (in this example: /mynewalias/edit).

Anybody any ideas ?

Thx, and cheers,
M

Ah yes, I see what you mean. Oh well. The edit part, best I could find isn't possible just within the drupal environment. Though I suppose it is possible if you actually mess with the php programming. Hopefully someone will have a clue on this one. I'm rather curious myself.

Take a look at #203804: Replacing node/XXX/edit to mypage/edit

It is currently postponed/won't fixed due to various problems with the idea.

In the meantime something similar can be done with a combination of 2 modules:
url_alter at http://drupal.org/project/url_alter
subpath_alias at http://drupal.org/project/subpath_alias

Those modules rewrite the link to the node edit page node/1/edit to use the aliased URL content/title/edit instead.

For example if the previous paths were
http://yourdomainnamehere.com/yourpathautonamehere/1337
http://yourdomainnamehere.com/node/1337/edit

Then the new paths will be
http://yourdomainnamehere.com/yourpathautonamehere/1337
http://yourdomainnamehere.com/yourpathautonamehere/1337/edit

To install simply install and activate the two modules. No configuration to do.

I can confirm that this solution work. I had thousand of /node/nid/edit node edit forms and these two modules change now the url to /my_alias/edit !

for drupal 7 users just install http://drupal.org/project/subpathauto. I deleted my aliases and ran bulk update under configuration ->URL aliases and unchecked 'Skip administration paths from sub-path processing.' to get it to work.

This isn't working for node/add/content type.
Is there a way I can just make the link add/content type without the word node?

http://drupal.org/node/331566 was the solution
