I have many OG group node content types where both the URL and the title are created automatically from the taxonomy settings.
So when a user creates a new group and selects the location to be USA >> Texas >> Dallas: Title: My Group (Texas, Dallas, USA) URL /group/usa/texas/dallas/mygroup
Is there a way for me to prevent that group administrator/creator from going back and changing the taxonomy terms a year down the line and therefore changing both the title and, more importantly, the URL with all its implications for SEO, site organisation, broken links, etc.??
How can I "lock" taxonomy on publication? Is that doable?
Regards
Neil

You'll need to program up a module and use http://api.drupal.org/api/function/book_nodeapi to prevent the changes.

This doesn't answer your question, but be sure this is actually a problem before spending too much time on it. Pathauto can be set to not change the URL once it's created and auto nodetitles only sets it on create, IIRC.

Thanks for that information Michelle. I've just found the PathAuto setting, which is the more important of my two questions resolved. Node titles, however, does alter the title when I change the taxonomy terms on node/edit.
