It was still not catching the "node/%nid".
I did a quick fix as written .htaccess rewrite to redirect user from /article/hello to /mymodule/article/hello.

RewriteRule  ^article/hello$ /mymodule/article/hello [L]

My updated hook_menu

$items['mymodule/article/hello'] = array(
    'title' => 'Hello World',
    'description' => 'Hello world',
    'page callback' => 'my_custom_function',
    'access arguments' => array('access content'),
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);

I am happy now :)

Thanks Nancy.

I haven't looked at that code in D7 yet, but based on D6, I am going to guess that it hasn't changed. The URL alias is resolved to the underlying "node/1234" before the menu is looked at. Since the menu specifies "article/hello," it does NOT match "node/1234" and therefore executes the standard "node/%nid" path instead. If you change the menu path to "node/1234," I bet it will do what you want.

Subject: [development] hook_menu vs path alias Drupal 7

Hi All,

I am developing a site in Drupal 7. I have a node with alias /article/hello
I also have a hook_menu with "/article/hello" path registered in my module.
When i access the path in browser http://localhost/article/hello it shows the node instead of calling "my_custom_function".

$items['article/hello'] = array(
    'title' => 'Hello World',
    'description' => 'Hello world',
    'page callback' => 'my_custom_function',
    'access arguments' => array('access content'),
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);

I want 'my_custom_function' to get called.
Appreciate your help.
