Using the core path module it's possible to set up multiple aliases for the same node art admin/build/path/add [assuming D6] (e.g. foo/bar and baz/bar can both be aliases to node/4). Where the problem lies is that this doesn't play well with menus, so if you want to have both foo/bar and baz/bar in a menu it's not going to work as going to baz/bar will trigger active trails to foo/bar as well.
Depending on your site structure/number of cloned pages/how often content changes etc, the way I've handled this in the past includes:
1. If there's only a few pages or if the content never/rarely changes just suck it up and quickly copy over the contents to a new node 2. Use views (e.g. create a node called bar, and views with paths foo and baz that take bar as an argument) 3. Either on the same content type or a new content type called Cloned Content etc, have a node reference field and then configure your display/templates to show the referenced content, so your workflow would be: create foo/bar and then if the same content is needed elsewhere, create a new node and choose foo/bar as the node reference, and then save it in the appropriate place in the menu as baz/bar.
This last one is what I do currently (after somebody mentioned it on the list a while back when I asked a very similar question).
From: Gerald Klein jk@zognet.com Subject: Re: [support] Multiple path aliases?
Hi and thanks for the post, this is a great module but doesn't serve my purpose. This module just redirects to another URL, I need something that allows the setting of multiple aliases for the same page and the URL remains intact after load. I want for example: http://somesite/project1/bill and http://somesite/project2/bill
to point to the same content.
But thanks for this module I can see it's usefuleness.
thanks for help and in advance for anyone who knows the answer to my problem.
thanks again

Hi, I have a site that I am working on that employees appear in a number of areas. To make the nav complete I have to recreate their pages multiple times. I have loaded the actual content into blocks and cloned them so I can solve that problem, but it would be much cleaner if I could simply apply multiple path aliases to a sinble page. Does anyone know how this can be done?
thanks in advance for any help.
thanks
