Backdrop matches only full URLs when creating SEO-friendly aliases. This module
extends that behavior by also matching known sub-paths and replacing them with
their respective alias.
For example, if user/1 is aliased to users/admin, this module rewrites the link
to the user contact page user/1/contact to use the aliased URL
users/admin/contact instead. This also includes Views URLs taking a node as
argument (e.g. node/%/yourview), in short, every URL that is based on, or
extends, an existing alias. In combination with the Pathauto module it is
possible to get rid of all remaining exposed internal non-administrative URLs.
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
Issues
- While Sub-pathauto works when
backdrop_get_normal_path()is called, if
backdrop_get_path_alias()is called, the hook to alter URLs is not
invoked. Functionality that uses this function to compare things like page
visibility settings will not match the sub-path processed URL. This is due
to a core bug. - Bugs and Feature requests should be reported in the
Issue Queue.
