Enable path module
This feature is part of core. Go to modules and enable path. This module allows you to set url aliases.

try pathauto module too
try the pathauto module but enabling "path" in your module setup allows you to alias these nodes.

how to change the sub urls [mass urls]
Hi,
thank you guys for the quick response and showing me a solution.
Please help me with changing mass urls as i have already dumped much content
i want to change
taxonomy/term/2
under which there are many post with [like node/111, node/112]
Thanks in advance.
pathauto can mass change URLs
You may want to take a look at the "Bulk generate index aliases"-option of pathauto (description: "Generate index aliases based on all pre-existing aliases.")
I have used pathauto in combination with taxonomy block to generate taxonomy sensitive submenus. There are lots of interesting possibilities with this combination.
where can i get this module.
where can i get this module. for mass url.
Hello,
Hello,
chiefguest >> I hope you won't mind my "interfering" with your thread. I have a related question, although slightly different. I thought I'd post it here as it might interest people reading this thread (btw, the module you're looking for is http://drupal.org/project/pathauto).
Instead of aliasing "node/3" or "taxonomy/4" (individually or via mass-aliasing), I'd like to permanently replace "node" by a more meaningful word like "article" or "category". I tried to alias "node" to "article" but it works only for this specific path and not for the subpaths like "node/3".
Besides, what would be even nicer is to replace "node" by a word depending on the type of node I'm viewing:
- "node/3" ==> "artist/3"
- "node/3" ==> "book-review/3"
- "node/3" ==> "publisher/3"
Where "artist", "book-review" and "publisher" are custom node types for node 3. Wouldn't that be nice?! :)
Finaly, what would really be a blast is:
- "node/3" ==> "artist/michael-jackson"
- "node/3" ==> "book-review/dont-look-back"
- "node/3" ==> "publisher/apress"
Where "michael-jackson", "dont-look-back" and "apress" are text ID equivalents for 3 (based on the node's title or entered manually).
I know pathauto more or less does this but I don't want to use it because it's impractical (and it's said to slow down Drupal) when you have hundreds of links to maintain.
I think I could do that by hacking the node module but I'm not fond of that either because it would break the compatibility with the official core Drupal package.
Any advice on this?
Vincent
Hmmm
It sounds like you want to manually make 'subaliases' that only apply to parts of a URL. That seems a great idea for a feature to me, but I'd have no clue as to how to do it sorry :)

It's all there
Hello Vincent,
This can easily be accomplished with the pathauto module as long as you use taxonomy for your categories. I suppose you mean different nodes (not identical ones as in your example).
Suppose you have node/3, node/4 and node/5. Then you would create a vocabulary, e.g. named "content category" and add the needed terms, e.g. "artist", "book-review" and "publisher". Next you would assign node/3 to the category "artist", node/4 to "book-review" and node/5 to "publisher".
Go to Administration >> Settings >> pathauto >> Node path settings >> Default path pattern and enter
[cat]/[title].If you're feeling lucky you can also check the box Bulk update node paths but I would make a database backup first.
Your nodes will then be named as you suggested. Alternatively you could use the menu structure to name your path aliases.
Hope that helps.

@vincentc
Well i was looking for the same thing but going for the too advance i thought to try for a medium level feature/module as i have huge traffic and don't want to give a try for too advanced feature [which is not yet available as far as my search/knowledge(contributed modules)].
Anyway i was about to reply that autopath slowdown the site and am not interested to give it a try as of now because i am on 4.6.5 version.
So any help from seniors here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Also please let me know if i
Also please let me know if i can directly use pathauto for my present version 4.6.5 or do i have to upgrade anything for it.
It seems the present available pathauto is for 4.7

On the pathauto module page http://drupal.org/project/pathauto you can go to View older releases to get to the 4.6 version which is available here:
http://drupal.org/node/17345/release
There appears to be a patch that addresses the performance problems in the 4.6 version of pathauto which is described here:

Hope that helps.
