Pathauto missing in Administer -> Site configuration

Thanks for the bug report.

First, you should probably be using 6.x-1.x branch.

Second, you should read the README.txt file and see if that helps.

The configuration is actually at admin/build/path/pathauto.

INSTALL.txt says:

4. Visit the Pathauto settings page and make appropriate configurations
For 5.x: Administer > Site configuration > Pathauto
For 6.x: Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings

Did you try this? If you don't have a path at "Administer > Site building > URL alias" then you do not have the path module installed which is a very odd state.

I have this same problem.

Using drupal 6.8, no link appears on the site configuration > URL aliases page or area to take you to the pathauto settings.

I don't know why it is missing, but it is.

what belize in comment #4 meant was that there is another way to access the settings, by editing content and clicking on the link to the pathauto settings in the paragraph which reads "An alias will be generated for you. If you wish to create your own alias below, untick this option. To control the format of the generated aliases, see the Pathauto settings[<-link]."

I am using a old version of pathauto so I will now upgrade and hopefully this will fix it.

This post is mainly for anyone who encounters the same problem with old versions of pathauto, as I assume that it will be fixed when I upgrade.

@sam.e2 If you're using Drupal 6, the pathauto settings are at Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings. Be sure to read the install.txt file in the pathauto module directory.

I just spent way too long hunting for Pathauto's setting in my site.

Convention seems to be:

1. Module setting pages generally go under Site configuration unless they are unambiguously an extension of another module.
2. The entry in Site configuration has the same name as the module.

Could this module conform to the convention?

Didn't think to look where you already administer URL aliases? It makes sense to have the module logically grouped along with those since it deals exclusively with URL aliases.

This is just like core's RSS publishing settings being under admin/content and not admin/settings.

D7 even helps you out even more since once a module is enabled, it can provide a 'Configure' link next to its entry on the module page to go to the specific page where you can configure the module.

I don't see how this could really be improved anymore seeing as we don't get a flood of reports every day about people not being able to find it. As such, marking this back as fixed.

Agreed. It's in a reasonably intuitive place. For those who don't find it, it's documented.
