Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/27155 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27155 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: path.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: jakeg Updated by: Bèr Kessels Status: patch Hmm. I am not sure. In this way, it can only be used by the wiki module. And IMO it is a bad thing to facilitate single implementations in core. In other words: I would definitely +1 this were a more general solution. So, what about a hook? IMNSHO that is actually over the top, a hook, but it would help other modules that want to fiddle with the path too.

To do this its very handy for the 'path alias' field on the new node page to be pre-filled with a value using e.g. node/add/page?edit[path]=somepath in the same way that you can prefill the title field using node/add/page?edit[title]=sometitle I've got this to work by adding the following line to path.module at line 211 as thus: case 'form pre': if(!$node->path AND isset($_GET['edit']['path'])) $node->path = $_GET['edit']['path']; $output = ... ... my line is the 'if' line in the middle above. Could this be added to core? I'm sure others could find it handy and it would save me from having to rewrite the line on every upgrade. If it can't be added to core, is there anyway for me to put this line into my own custom module somehow so that I don't have to rewrite it every time I upgrade? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:18:31 +0000 : leafish_paul Not a patch, but I quite like the idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:22:09 +0000 : leafish_paul Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/path.module.wiki.style.create.page.at.404.pat...
