Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/27206 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27206 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.0 Component: base system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: jhenry Reported by: jhenry Updated by: jhenry Status: patch Currently, urls that use the url_alias table do not allow arguments. This is not desirable because it is useful to be able to specify arguments on a script that is aliased without having to refer to it by node number. The code below replaces the drupal_get_normal_path() function in common.inc to allow aliased paths to have arguments. /** * Given a path alias, return the internal path it represents. */ function drupal_get_normal_path($path) { if (($map = drupal_get_path_map()) && isset($map[$path])) { return $map[$path]; } elseif (function_exists('conf_url_rewrite')) { return conf_url_rewrite($path, 'incoming'); } else { //look at each of the path components of $path and allow extra components to be arguments //do a greedy search first for the largest paths if ($map && (strpos($path, '/') !== false)) { $newpath = clone($path); $args = ''; while($path_end = strrpos($newpath, '/')) { $args = substr($newpath, $path_end).$args; $newpath = substr($newpath, 0, $path_end); //check to see if this new path exists in the path map if(isset($map[$newpath])) { return $map[$newpath].$args; } } } //no alias was found, return the original path return $path; } } jhenry
