Create an Url Alias | Change the default front page.

Posted May 13th, 2008 by david

An url alias instructs Drupal to redirect traffic from one url to another

The pathauto module should handle most url alias, but you might want to enter one manually from time to time:

 

 

  1. Navigate to Administer -> Site Building -> URL aliases
  2. or
  3. go directly to http://www.4tgc.org/admin/build/path
  4. To edit an alias:
    1. Find the Alias you want to change and click edit
    2. The first entry is for the existing system path, i.e. the current location of the node, this should be of the form node/15
    3. The second entry is the alias path you want to use i.e. what users can type/click to get to the node, this is of the form /mynewalias
    4. Click Update Alias
  5. To Create a new alias:
    1. Click Add Alias in the top left corner
    2. follow steps for editing an alias (above)
