hi i am trying to make this url (which is linked in a lot of places)

www.freedom-center.org/radio

go to this url on our drupal install

www.freedom-center.org/section/radio

i tried to do this under set url aliases here:

Existing system path: http://freedom-center.org/section/radio Specify the existing path you wish to alias. For example: node/28, forum/1, taxonomy/term/1+2. http://freedom-center.org/radio Specify an alternative path by which this data can be accessed. For example, type "about" when writing an about page. Use a relative path and don't add a trailing slash or the URL alias won't work.

but it doesn't seem to work?

thanks for help

Will, I've been staring at this email for a while in My inbox thinking about what it could be. What is producing the content of section/radio? Is it a simple page, or a panel or something else? It might help to know what's producting this URL that doesn't seem to be behaving well with the url asias concept. I hate unsolved mysteries....

hi, thanks for the replies. the categories module is generating a vocabulary titled 'section' so /section/radio lists all the nodes tagged with that taxonomy term. however /section just returns the header and footer, no blocks, and the number '2' this is very strange bc /section/radio or /section/blog return those taxonomy item tagged nodes no problem. but when i put the url alias in for /radio to return /section/radio, it doesn't work. this is important bc we switched to drupal recently and there are a lot of links out there to /radio thanks for help - will Joakim Stai wrote:

Looks to me like an issue with the module providing the /section. Perhaps it's not using the arg() function but tries to read the query string to fetch what comes after "section/"? If Will could tell us what module is providing the "section/" menu item, it would certainly help :)

hi earnie, thanks for this, but i don't think i really understand. i think you are saying that /radio and /section/radio aren't valid values in those fields bc they are themselves aliases. so how do i find out the values for the existing system path and alternate path data? thanks - will Earnie Boyd wrote:

You need to use relative URI for the URL Alias module data.

The ``Existing system path'' data should be something like ``node/1'' with out the quotes of course and the ``alternate path'' data should be something like ``first_article''.

Also, you can't alias the alias because the alias isn't an ``Existing system path''.

thanks david i will look into that and report back... Metzler, David wrote:

Here's what I think is going on.

1. You have the path_auto module enabled which is automatically generating aliases for your taxonomy terms. 2. Your Page Not found message is messed up. I think that all these "2" pages are a misrendering of your page not found page. You might check override settings for that in admin/settings. 3. Because pathauto is enabled, and generating url aliases (paths) for your terms, you're trying to alias an alias which doesn't work.

Does that seem like it might be correct?

Here's some tests to perform. Navigate the the Administer Urls admin page and look through the list of urls. You should be able to find one for sections/radio that translates to something along the lines of taxonomy/term/3 (or whatever the term id of the "radio" term turns out to be.

Find that system path and make an additional alias that aliases radio to the taxonomy/term/3 style path.

All should be well, except now you need to try and figure out why your page not found message is messed up.....

Happy hunting,

Dave
