Drupal pathauto usage

Question

I have a node called artists. It has a field called shortname. I want to have it so that when I add an artists with shortname = 'foo' you can navigate to http://bar.com/foo/ and it will show that artist's node.

What's the magic configuration in pathauto to make this happen?

Answer 1

You need The path auto which requires the token module. You'll need to set up your path using the [title-raw] token. Which should be used with care as node titles could inject bad stuff into your URLs.

It's not a good idea to have http://example.com/[title-raw]. You'll end up with possible name collisions. Try http://example.com/artist/[title-raw]
