Hello, I was trying the global redirect module because I need to avoid duplicated content (SEO guys suggested that all node/123 should make a 301 redirect to /a-seo-friendly-url) but noticed it doesn't work for anonymous users.

I think the problem may be related to the drupal_get_path_alias function somehow.

I've noticed this behavior on Drupal 5 and haven't tried on Drupal 6.

Am I missing something here? Is drupal_get_path_alias useful just for authenticated users or is this something related just to global_redirect module?

Thanks!

It should be working just fine. Can you provide more details on your module configuration and how exactly to reproduce the problem?

Hi, I found my problem. I'm using Boost and pages like /node/123 were being cached so the rewrite rules on .htaccess were working before the request hit Drupal and global redirect had no chance to do its magic.

I fixed by adding this condition in the Boost rewrite rules on .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/node

This has to be added for the three rewrite rules between the lines commented as BOOST START and BOOST END on .htaccess.

Regards!
