Hi All,

Just wondering if it would be possible to add support for the paging module in pathauto? When using pathauto you are able to automatically generate FURL's like this;

http://mydomain.com/articles/multi_page_article

However, when using the paging module and you start browsing the pages of an article the URL becomes a bit untidy, looking like;

http://mydomain.com/articles/multi_page_article?page=0%2C1

Would it be possible to add supoprt into pathauto for the paging module to generate aliases for the paging URL so the structure is the same/similar as when viewing comments, such as;

http://mydomain.com/articles/multi_page_article#page_1

Or even something like;

http://mydomain.com/articles/multi_page_article/page_1

I originally asked this as a feature request for the paging module, but I was told it could not be done without abandoning the inbuilt Drupal paging system. Seems Pathauto would be the next logical place to look at having these clean URL's for multipage articles using the paging module automatically generated.

What's the update to this? Thanks.

I'm not even sure this is a pathauto issue - as the original poster points out this is a drupal paging issue first and foremost. Once it is supported in the pager and/or in the normal path system then we should look to expand that functionality via pathauto.

I'm reassigning this to Drupal base system to see if it can be handled by the base system.

I selected the wrong component initially...

No momentum in over three years. Marking as won't fix.

http://drupal.org/project/subpath_alias actually provides this, I think.

Oh yes, that should do it.
