Dear Drupalistas:
Recently, we launched a Drupal-based system on planetmath.org.
The system serves MathML-enhanced HTML5 that is generated from LaTeX sources. At the moment, our LaTeX converter produces links like http://planetmath.org/node/38977 -- Can you recommended a way to get Drupal to serve this content using the nicer permalink format http://planetmath.org/planetmath?
Joe
You want the pathauto module:

I have pathauto installed, with [node:field_canonicalname] set as the default path pattern. The issue is that my XHTML is coming from a custom cache and doesn't seem to hit the outgoing pathauto preprocessor before it's served to the public. So I'm wondering how to make pathauto apply to the contents of a given field before that field is served.
It's reporting the canonical link in the source as /planetmath, but going to node/XXXX is the default Drupal way. You can prevent that by installing the global redirect module.
If you're using a field to generate the permalink, that field has to be populated when the node is first saved so Pathauto can generate the alias and save it in the database. Pathauto only updates alises on entity updates (node, user, etc.) when that entity is updated through the controller. So changing a field directly won't change the path. Also you can adjust how Pathauto functions when aliases do change on the settings page.
