Sub-path URL Aliases

Drupal's path module matches only full URLs when creating SEO-friendly aliases. This module extends that behavior by also matching known sub-paths and replacing them with their respective alias. For example, if node/1 is aliased to content/title, this module rewrites the link to the node edit page node/1/edit to use the aliased URL content/title/edit instead. This also includes Views URLs taking a node as argument (node/%/yourview), in short, every URL that is based on, or extends, an existing alias. In combination with the Pathauto module it is possible to get rid of all remaining exposed internal URLs.

Dependencies

• Path (Drupal core)
• URL Alter (read installation note below)
• Optional, but highly recommended: Pathauto

Installation

IMPORTANT: Make sure to download the correct version of URL Alter:
Sub-path URL Aliases 6.x-1.1 requires URL Alter 6.x-1.2 or later,
while the older 6.x-1.0 release only works with URL Alter 6.x-1.1 and below.

For installation procedure see current README.

IMPORTANT: If you had set up a custom_url_rewrite^*) function in your settings.php and NOT used URL Alter before, you HAVE TO modify your code after installation. Please consult the URL Alter documentation for more information.

^*) If you don't know what a custom_url_rewrite is you may safely ignore this note.

Compatibility

Global Redirect is known to cause issues: #346911: Redirect Loop and custom_url_rewrite ignored. Please help test the patch.
