Hi, I'm trying to set up pathauto with user account pages. I'd like the aliases to be of the structure 'users/[realname]'. However, I've found that when users first go to edit their account and provide their real name, this token does not yet exist, and so the initial alias comes out as users-1, users-2, etc. The user has to go to the edit account page and save their account a second time for the alias to be correct. Is there any way of fixing this? I am also using ldap authentication for my users, which may be part of the problem?

Thanks a lot for any help!

something strange going on here... I have my realname in cck fields in a content profile node and "user[realname]" in pathauto. all modules in newest stable on d613 expect realname is in latest dev.

I tested a lot and got mad about finding no consistency in what happens. What I can say is that changes to the cck fields affect the realname only after saving the profile settings. And the shown names for author on nodes vary also... dont't know how exactely... damm it's early in the morning...

couldn't all this by nicely handled with actions, comming with the module code?

I'm not to skilled in druapl, but I got one question in general. why is it necessary to rebuild realnames, from my point of view it is something like a computed field and will be calculated on the fly... instead of aliases wich will be created on node create and then updated on every change. wish I could code that on my own;-)
