Good afternoon.

I have pathauto set up to create aliases for users' blog posts, and the blog pages of users.

The user blogs I want blog/user
The posts are blog/user/node-title

It's working find for posts, but the blog pages still appear as blog/4 (for example).

Help is greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, so I'm keeping an eye on this as well.

Yes, I can confirm this as well. I have set my auto alias to [user-raw]/blog but the blog/uid is still persistent and the former throws me a 'page not found' error. I was hoping that I could manually change the URL alias instead... and adding to my horror blog/uid is nowhere to be found in the current URL alias list.

Can anybody throw us some light? Thanks.

Maybe try 6.x-1.x-dev. If that fixes it I'll make a new official release.

The trouble I am having is that not only do the path's not get created on new users, but old ones are apparently disappearing. When I rerun config with the batch option checked, they appear again, only to be deleted later on. I will try the dev version.

Perhaps this is a duplicate of #553508: Object assignment destroys roles for subject $user?

Also, nobody is clarifying 6.x-1.1 vs. 6.x-1.x. Please clarify which version you are using and whether the problem is fixed in one of them.

Make sure you check "Bulk generate aliases for blogs that are not aliased" under the blog path settings on admin/build/path/pathauto.

Upgrading to 6.x-1.x-dev fixes the problem. So sorry for the late reply. Thanks!

I have attempted to bulk generate user blog aliases with pathauto versions 6.x-1.2, 6.x-1.x-dev, and 6.x-2.x-dev (today's versions). Before bulk generating, I deleted all existing blog aliases (only 8). Then I bulk generated user blog aliases. Drupal reports that pathauto has created "0 new aliases," and sure enough, no user blog aliases appear in the pathauto list. Help!

I am running Drupal 6.14. The user blog alias pattern is set to blog/[user-raw]. Blog node paths work just fine (blog/[user-raw]/[title-raw]).

Thank you!

Category: support » bug

I have updated to 6.x-1.2 and can confirm that this is still a problem
Here are 4 cases

CASE 1
User creates account and creates first blog post:
posts: /blog/date/user-raw
blog: /blog/uid
-- if admin creates subsequent posts for user, blog is still /blog/uid

CASE 2
Admin creates account for user and creates first blog post for user
(assigning user name in Authoring Info)
posts: /blog/date/user-raw
blog: /blogs/user-raw
-- if admin creates subsequent posts for user, blog is still /blogs/user-raw

CASE 3
User creates account, but admin creates first blog post for user
(assigning user name in Authoring Info)
posts: /blog/date/user-raw
blog: /blog/uid

CASE4
Admin creates account for user, but user creates first blog post
(assigning user name in Authoring Info)
posts: /blog/date/user-raw
blog: /blogs/user-raw

So, if the Admin creates the account, the blog path is /blogs/user-raw (as specified in path-auto)
If the user creates the account, the blog path is /blog/uid

Hope this helps narrow it down.

btw, greggles, missed you at DrupalCamp Austin.
