This would be just trhe 'primary' alias for a given object, right? Url alias table holds additional aliases that work but aren't used for building links. +1 from me. I hope someone volunteers for this. I don't think it is too much code. Just fooling with the path functions mainly. On 5/8/06 7:22 AM, "Adrian Rossouw" <adrian@bryght.com> wrote:
One of the things we discussed doing once 4.8 is open, around the time of vancouver, was that in order to maintain an alias for each and every node, using the path table for that, was just not going to scale.
So, simply adding a 'path' column, which is in effect the preferred alias for that object, and then using a node_link($node) function (or just l($node->path)), would allow us to run modules like pathauto on very large production sites with thousands of nodes.
This is a faily simple, albeit fairly large patch. Do we have any volunteers / naysayers?
