Hi,

I'm creating a custom module for a new node type and want to be able to have an alias for all those nodes. Such as:

/newnodetype/232

i.e. each node would be at /newnodetype/[id] rather than /node/[id]

But I only want this to work for my own node type, not for all nodes.

Which hook should I be looking at, and can anyone provide code for an implementation of this?

Jake.

It doesn't work as-is and I don't see an update. I read the page on converting 4.5 modules to 4.6, and I think I know what the problem is, considering my error.

The functions node_access_join_sql() and node_access_where_sql() should not be used any more but the SELECT-queries should be wrapped in a db_rewrite_sql() call.

Well, this module is using node_access_join_sql(). Problem is, I'm a PHP n00b, and don't know how to make the change. Has anyone else done this?

Any prefered way to create/manage a node without connection to SQL. We'd like to use the node model but have links go external (or perhaps via another module for rendering) and not expect them to be in the local system-- in our case they are not. We can manage in the module the links but the theme rendering will add a bogus link (in for example the headline).

Has anyone messed with this? I noticed this post: http://drupal.org/node/12289, but can only assume nobody has touched it since then. I'm guessing that it'd have to be either just patched onto the comment system or a module would have to be added that facilitated handling of attachments that weren't nodes. Because you can only attach stuff to nodes, which is faily limiting (of course...

I did some searching and failed to find any news on a spell checker module that's compatible with Drupal 4.6 It appears that the previous maintainer, mathias, is no longer working on it. Is anyone else planning on updating this module? I found Spellchecker to be highly useful, and would try to update it myself if I had the skills to do so.
