Organic groups, group content types and pathauto

Question

In pathauto module settings I have

localhost/[node:group_group]

for all group types. I have few group types: Ex Technology, Arts, Design etc and within each group type you can create as many groups as you want.

So when I create a group named google, the path looks like this :

localhost/technologies/google

.

I want to have any article created within that group and to have a path like this

localhost/[node:group_group]/[node:title]/[content-type]/[title]

Ex:

localhost/technologies/google/article/some-article

How to achieve something like this? I could not find any token replacement pattern for my use case in pathauto module. Is there some trick here?

Thanks

Answer 1

I tried:

[node:og-group-ref:url:relative]/[node:menu-link:parent]/[node:title]

Worked like a charm.

So, I guess that you should go with:

[node:og-group-ref:url:relative]/[node:content-type]/[node:title]

Note: Posted the answer since this was the first result on Google (for me), and no answer was given... Perhaps it will put someone else in the right direction faster.

Answer 2

[node:og-group-ref]/[node:title] is what worked for me.

Answer 3

this isn't a complete answer as I only have one group type ("projects"), but within admin/config/search/path/patterns I use

projects/[node:group_audience]/[node:content-type]/[node:title]

for each of the different content types, unless I want the url to display a different term than that of the content type. I believe this would cover the

google/article/some-article

part of your string. Presumably you'd just put your

[node:group_group]

in place of my "projects," unless [node:group_group] produces "technology/google," in which case go with

[node:group_group]/[node:content-type]/[node:title].

Answer 4

For me, this worked:

1. Install sandbox module og_token.

2. Apply patch og_token-og_7.2-1930132-1.patch to og_token, as per Drupal issue #1930132 comment 1.

3. Optionally, if you want the tokens to use the group's URL alias rather than group title: in file og_token.module, exchange function og_token_get_group_labels() with this:

   function og_token_get_group_labels($nodes, $options) {
     $labels = array();
     $sanitize = !empty($options['sanitize']);
   
     foreach ($nodes as $group) {
       $label = drupal_get_path_alias('node/' . $group->nid);
       $labels[] = $sanitize ? check_plain($label) : $label;
     }
     return $labels;
   }
   

4. Set your pathauto pattern to:

   [node:og-group-audience:first]/[node:content-type]/[node:title]
   

This solution is based on lahode's work. It achieves the same effect as the answer by @Marcus Farrington to this very question, which for me does not work with the latest versions of modules og, token etc..

All these problems with OG tokens are discussed at length in Drupal issue #1088538.
