Hi,

we are in the process of upgrading one of our sites from D5 to D6. We have sorted out most of the issues but there's one major problem left, which we need help with:

All book nodes have their paths automatically created using the pathauto module (6.x-1.3) using the [menu-raw]/[menupath-raw] tokens (token version 6.x-1.13). Newly created book nodes (with D6) do get their path created properly. However, existing book nodes do not. It seems [menu-raw] is empty, which breaks the sites' menu layout.

Task: Provide a step-by-step solution on how to re-enable proper path creation for existing book pages, without the need to delete/recreate the nodes manually and without loosing revision information.

Please include the estimated costs in your offer/proposal. Thank you!

The problem is not that the aliases could not be regenerated. Regeneration doesn't fix the issue. Here's a step-by-step problem description:

1) existing node has URL mydomain/verein/periodika/bulletin/2010/nr-70 (nr-70 is the menu item)
2) edit this node, make sure the menu item is correctly under '2010'
3) check-mark "create URL alias"
4) save
5) URL is then mydomain/bulletin-nr-70 (because the node title is Bulletin Nr. 70)

however, the URL created by pathauto should be as seen in 1).

Hope that clarifies it a little and hopefully someone can help us
Thanks!
