[support] force users to enter path alias

[Mohammed@atexplorer.com]

hello William and Fred,

thank you very much for the explanation! if only I can write code I will 
use this power of drupal extensively. any more hints or a skeleton 
module that I can try? unfortunately I won't be able to write this on my 
own, even though the code is only few lines long.

thank you both very much, and I am sorry for the miss understanding.

Mohammed.
