Currently I've set subdomain to maps organic groups to subdomains.

For example I've a group called "group name" so pathauto+subdomain correctly create "http://group-name.domain.com" (where domain.com is my domain). The subdomain works perfectly and it displays the content of the group.

Now I've created a node for this group (node audience), the title is "first news posted in the group". I've set [title-raw].html in pathauto settings so the the URI of this node is:

http://domain.com/first-news-posted-in-the-group.html

What I'd like now is to have the subdomain for nodes posted in the group, like:

http://group-name.domain.com/first-news-posted-in-the-group.htm

instead of:

http://domain.com/first-news-posted-in-the-group.html

Is this possible with the current subdomain+pathauto implementation? Does this need only a different configuration?

Many thanks!

I've done some tests. In all of them I've set "[subdomain]" as path pattern for group node type.

If I manually set the alias of a node posted into a group to:

~group-name/title-of-the-post.html

the URI will be:

http://group-name.domain.com/title-of-the-post.html

which is correct.

So I've tried to set the following pattern into the default path pattern:

~[ogname-raw]/[title-raw].html

This partially works: nodes posted into a group now are correct but nodes which aren't posted in a group became:

~/title-of-the-news.html

So the final URI is:

http://.domain.com/title-of-the-news.html

which obviously doesn't work.

Finally I've done one last test. I've set the following pattern for the default path pattern:

[subdomain][title-raw].html

In this case "subdomain" pattern is not used and the final URI is:

http://domain.com/title-of-my-node.html

(like when the pattern is [title-raw].html)

I've looked at the demo site (eslwell.com) which does exactly this thing. It should be interesting to know how it has been configured.

I've tried to look the source code but I didn't understand how to configure it... :-(

I had the same problem. but it found that this issue is only related to group content created prior to setting pathauto alias. I went and created new content and subdomain works perfectly.
The pathauto for group content should be [subdomain]/my/custom/path/[title-raw]
which results in og-name.example.com/my/custom/path/my-title

Plus its seems like subdomain gets out of sync when you update path aliases for existing nodes :

  1. set group content pathauto to [subdomain]/path1/[title-raw]
  2. Create content "Content 1" for the group1
  3. Everything is fine, you get group1.example.com/path1/content-1
  4. change group content pathauto to [subdomain]/path2/[title-raw]
  5. go to admin/content/node
  6. Check node "Content 1", and select "update path alias in the update options
  7. url for Content 1 is now www.example.com/path2/content-1

Now the path alias of nodes posted into groups are correctly generated. But there is still the problem of nodes which aren't posted in a group, they became:

~/title-of-the-news.html

instead of:

title-of-the-news.html

So the final URI is:

http://.domain.com/title-of-the-news.html

A workaround is to duplicate the content type, but I'd like to have only one content type.

Googling around the net I've found this:

http://sefikuv.net/~computers/drupal-how-i-got-subdomain-pathauto-module...

The suggestion is to hack the path module for removing the unneeded string "~/" in the path:

function path_set_alias($path = NULL, $alias = NULL, $pid = NULL) {
  if(substr($alias, 0, 2) == "~/") //detect bad path
  $alias = '~'.substr($alias, 2); //remove slash

I'll have to try it, but if it works, could be introduced in the subdomain module?

The hack is not correct, the right code is:

function path_set_alias($path = NULL, $alias = NULL, $pid = NULL) {
  if(substr($alias, 0, 2) == "~/") //detect bad path
  $alias = substr($alias, 2); //remove slash

We don't have to add the tilde before the alias :-)
