I have a taxonomy that looks like this

Music:
Classical
Electronica
Jazz and Blues
Metal & Punk Rock

To view all nodes with "Classical" I can go to http://www.example.com/taxonomy/term/11, however it a better URL structure would be http://www.example.com/music/classical/

How would set this up?

Go to URL aliases in your admin.

Go to add alias.

In existing system path, type:
taxonomy/term/11

and in new path alias type:
music/classical

Don't forget to update your links in your menus, i.e. type in your new paths, though I think old ones should still work too.

Easy, in it? ;-)

Hi,

Thanks for the answer to the post. It's what I was looking for, but I can't find the link you're talking about. Where is it, and do I need a special module to do it?

Thx.

Install pathauto ( http://drupal.org/project/pathauto ), which will create better link names for your pages automagically if you forget (and/or if your members forget) and don't forget the patch under #17 on this page: http://drupal.org/node/43712 (if you're using 4.6.x) so your site doesn't drag its feet.

If you want to use the built-in path alias (the path auto sounds like a good module though), then you can just type admin/path to your normal drupal url and it should take you to the right page.

Thanks,

I found that I had to enable "paths" in "modules" first.

re: pathauto...I'm a control freak ;-)

Whatever your pleasure :) . We're passing 4,000 nodes ... no way I'd do all of them. Pathauto uses the title with underscores.

Quick question, are you using 4.6. or 4.7 with this?
