hello Clark.<br>
<br>
thank you. I did, and I think it's an excellent module. however, since
the site I want this functionality for is in Arabic, pathauto doesn't
work very well with such characters, and I don't like the
transliteration that it does.<br>
<br>
thank you once again,<br>
Mohammed.<br>

<p> <span>hello William and Fred,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
thank you both very much, and I am sorry for the miss understanding.<br>
<br>
Mohammed.<br>

<p> <span> Hi Mohammed -<br>
<br>
I think you misunderstand the hook system. It is designed so that you
*don't* have to hack core files. You would implement this in your
site's
custom module space (if you don't have one, you can create one
easily).
You would then implement the hook as <i><span>your_module_name_</span></i>form_alter(&$form,
$form_state,
$form_id)<br>
<br>
This is the way that Drupal is designed to be extended and is not at
all a
hack. You can read more here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://api.drupal.org/api/group/hooks/6">http://api.drupal.org/api/group/hooks/6</a><br>
<br>
Best,<br>

<p> <span>hello William,<br>
<br>
thanks for the answer. I don't prefer to use this method as I need to
hack core
files. any other thoughts?<br>
<br>
thank you.<br>
Mohammed. </span> </p>

<p> <span>I don't recall if there
is a direct way (ie. config option) to make the path alias textfield

<p> <span>hello.<br>
<br>
is this at all possible? I want users to fill in the path alias field
and make
it obligatory. it sounds simple, but searching <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a> didn't
yield anything relevant.<br>
