Description
Anyone have idea how can I do the pathauto do generate alias for taxonomy VTN?
I have 1000+ vocabulary + terms and I want all in nice url.

#1
There is way to do that with the taxonomy_vtn for the vocabularies & terms (i.e. recognizing the name instead of the number, but it would not work in all cases since the number 3 could be a term or an identifier...)
Now, if you use the default taxonomy behavior to list the nodes, that would require changes to the taxonomy module (or a module that is capable of diverting and fixing the path under the hood.)
I will look into that at some point.
Thank you.

Okay...
I have a /name/ sub-path now that allows you to access the vocabularies and terms by name as in:
http://linux.m2osw.com/taxonomy_vtn/name/Site%20Index/Linux
http://linux.m2osw.com/taxonomy_vtn/name/Site%20Index/SQL
Let me know what you think... There is a space in the vocabulary name that appears as %20 for now...
Thank you.

P.S. I intend to add a flag in the global taxonomy setup to ask whether you want to use the nice URLs. Then they would be used by default. At this time, the numbers are used.

would be nice to have this as a group in pathauto like "Taxonomy VTN path settings"

This feature would not require pathauto since it is 100% specific to Taxonomy VTN. Yet, the i18n to ASCII table could be used from there instead of duplicated over and over again... 8-}
Other than special handling of characters, is there something that does not yet work the way it should?
Thank you.

Okay! Got it! Took me a little time, didn't it?!
So... You add a new term, you get a new URL:
/taxonomy_vtn/name/my%20vocabulary/my%20new%20tagAnd you want pathauto to create something like:
/dictionary/my-new-tagI think that's a feature for pathauto indeed.
I'll look into that.
Thank you.
