hi, wondering if there is a module that will do what i am looking for automatically.

example, right now this URL is http://kappatalk.com/taxonomy/term/163 however I would want it to be renamed as http://kappatalk.com/Scott_Moody or at least something based on the tag as opposed to the ugly URL http://kappatalk.com/taxonomy/term/163

sort of a pathauto but for Taxonomy

thanks in advance.

pathauto does work for taxonomy and is set in administer -> url aliases -> automated alias settings tab

expand the taxonomy term path settings menu and set as you wish.

hmmm...i must be doing something wrong. i've selected "bulk generate aliases for terms that are not aliased" and nothing happens. please advise.

because the terms were likely already aliased. go to administer -> url aliases -> list tab
locate them
edit them
re-save them

or administer -> taxonomy
edit and re-save

If I could sidetrack just a bit - how would one go about getting views to resolve correctly, if they had originally be designed to parse the node id from the URL, which has now been replaced by the SEO friendly term instead?

I've never been able to nail down a concrete solution to what I'm sure is a very common situation.

User has a page view that works for http://www.yoursite.com/node/12 (where the node id of 12 is used to generate the View results).

The user then implements an SEO friendly URL, changing the path to http://www.yoursite.com/dogs. Is it a matter or rewriting the view, or?

view_alias.module I believe, solves that problem
