Nodes and Menu paths

Wed, 16/01/2008 - 09:05 — mjudd

Hi Guys

I am new to this game, but I am learning fast. Also very pleased to see there is a Uk (and North West Drupal al users grous).

I have enabled clean URLs for the Drupal installation Now when say I create say an 'About us' page I want 'the domain name to show (for instance) www.domainname.com/about us and NOT www.domainname.com/node/3 or what ever.

How do I do this - as I know I must be doing something wrong (or not understanding something !!

Thanks for your help

Enable Path module

Hi Martin,

If you haven't already, enable Path module at http://www.example.com/admin/build/modules then re-edit the node and you should be able to enter a URL Path Settings for the node - you can set this to "about" and you're done.

Cheers,

Chris

Ps. You may also want to take a look at PathAuto - http://drupal.org/project/pathauto, a contributed module that enables you to set defaults for automatic URL path creation.

For example if you created a blog post with the title, "Drupal Rocks", pathauto could automatically create a URL path of "blogs/2008/01/16/drupal-rocks" for you. It's worth checking out.
