1 | **Installation: |
---|
2 | |
---|
3 | Pathauto is an extension to the path module, which must be enabled. |
---|
4 | |
---|
5 | Pathauto also relies on the Token module, which must be downloaded and |
---|
6 | enabled separately. |
---|
7 | |
---|
8 | 1. Unpack the Pathauto folder and contents in the appropriate modules |
---|
9 | directory of your Drupal installation. This is probably |
---|
10 | sites/all/modules/ |
---|
11 | 2. Enable the Pathauto module in the administration tools. |
---|
12 | 3. If you're not using Drupal's default administrative account, make |
---|
13 | sure "administer pathauto" is enabled through access control administration. |
---|
14 | 4. Visit the Pathauto settings page and make appropriate configurations |
---|
15 | For 5.x: Administer > Site configuration > Pathauto |
---|
16 | For 6.x: Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | **Transliteration support: |
---|
19 | If you desire transliteration support in the creation of URLs (e.g. the |
---|
20 | replacement of à with A) then you will need to install the Transliteration |
---|
21 | module, which can be found at http://drupal.org/project/transliteration |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | Once you've installed and enabled the module, simply go to |
---|
24 | admin/build/path/settings and check the "Transliterate prior to creating alias" |
---|
25 | box and path aliases should now be transliterated automagically. |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | **Upgrading from previous versions: |
---|
28 | If you are upgrading from Pathauto 5.x-1.x to 5.x-2.x (or 6.x-2.x) then you |
---|
29 | will probably need to change your patterns. |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | For content patterns: |
---|
32 | [user] is now [author-name] |
---|
33 | [cat] is now [term] |
---|
34 | |
---|
35 | There may be other changes as well. Please review the pattern examples on |
---|
36 | Administration > Site Configuration > Pathauto |
---|
37 | |
---|
38 | If you upgraded from Pathauto 5.x-1.x directly without enabling Token |
---|
39 | first then you will need to |
---|
40 | 1) download/install the Token module |
---|
41 | 2) disable the Pathauto module |
---|
42 | 3) re-enable the Pathauto module |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | Upgrade to 6.x: |
---|
45 | Note that the settings page has moved so that it is more logically grouped with |
---|
46 | other URL alias related items under |
---|
47 | Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings |
---|
48 | |
