Domain Access with URL Alias - same content, but with different automated aliases

Question

I have a site running Domain Access with two domains - the primary domain and the sub-domain. Both domains share the same content in the database, but I would like the automated URL aliases for the sub-domain to be different from that of the primary domain's.

There are two tables in the database right now - the url_alias table and the domain_2_url_alias table (of which the latter is a copy of the original url_alias table).

I tried modifying the settings under /admin/build/path/pathauto and selected the sub-domain under the "Save settings for:" option, but that didn't seem to have any effect at all.

I can change the values in domain_2_url_alias manually for each node (which worked), but the site generates new content very often, that this wouldn't be a viable solution.

I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I believe this is exactly what the Domain Path module is for.

According to the module page:

The Domain Path module allows the creation of separate path aliases per domain for nodes created using the Domain Access module.

However, it looks like this module provides the option per node, rather than offering different pathauto patterns which I think is what you want. There's a postponed request in the issue queue for pathauto integration that offers a partial patch, but it's offered as an anti-proof-of-concept, it seems.
