Books on Drupal
There are a few books on Drupal and they range from everything for the beginner to everything for the advanced. I have a page devoted to Drupal books that are available for purchase along with a review on each of them.
Automatically Naming the URL Path in Drupal
Submitted by Drupal Dude on Sun, 08/19/2007 - 12:31pm.
We all know how to rename the URL path using the Path Module in Drupal now, but wouldn't it be nice if Drupal did this automatically? It can with the Pathauto module. This is a third party module available through drupal.org that you have to install. This is not part of the Drupal core... although it should be in my opinion.
Once it's installed and enabled, you have to go and turn on all the indexing in the Pathauto settings. You have various options here, but to get it running with minimal effort, just enable all the settings. This includes:
General Settings
- Create Index Aliases
- Bulk Generate Index Aliases
Node Path Settings
- Bulk update node paths
- Create Feed Alises
Category Path Settings
- Bulk update category paths
- Create Feed Aliases
User-tracker path settings
- Bulk update user-tracker paths
- Create Feed Aliases
User path settings
- Bulk update user paths
What this will do is make sure that all of your old nodes (posts) have a friendly URL based on the subject and it will create the same for all new posts on your Drupal installation.
After this, you no longer need to create your own URLs... although you still can. Drupal rocks!
Can't enable the mod
Oh thanks for the great video I enjoy it very much. Just like a ... movies for Drupal web designer!
Autopath
I am just a newbie, follow the guide, saw the module but can't enable the radio check box. Here the message:
"Provides a mechanism for modules to automatically generate aliases for the content they manage.
Depends on: Path (enabled), Token (missing)"
Am I missing something ?

Token Module
I followed your guide and found out that the newest version of Pathauto also needs the Token module installed as well.
I like your site, thanks!
