Custom URL aliases in Drupal 6

Question

I have several pages in my drupal website that produce custom query strings. The query string values and aliases I want to use are referenced from a MYSQL database.

I've seen examples for this in Drupal 5 using the custom_url_rewrite function but not in 6... can somebody provide me with an example of how to do this?

Thanks

Answer 1

The path module is part of core and does what I think you want, with a little coding. You may also find PathAuto will help you.

Answer 2

It's not clear to me exactly what it is you want to do, but the function you reference, has been divided into two functions in Drupal 6: custom_url_rewrite_outbound() and custom_url_rewrite_inbound().

I don't hope you will use the url run queries against your database, that can quickly become a gaping security hole.
