I have a relative URL in a large site that I inherited: /my-url.
For the life of me I can't find the View, Module, or other content that shows how to edit this URL. I've grepped the code base, and searched the database, but can't find it.
How can I tell how this URL gets edited? Is there some kind of search modules/views/blocks by URL?
You can try Devel and the Devel Themer module to check template file possibilities.
Check your themes /templates folder and template.php for modifications.
A lot of themes apply the nid or tid as a css class to the body or elsewhere in the form of node-123 or taxonomy-term-123 etc. You can check for this and try visiting /node/123/edit for example.
Another possibility is that it is coming from a custom module, so check the module list for any module that could be custom.
You could try looking in the menu_router table, where the path column contains values like node/%/revisions/view. Also, the url_alias table has a source column (to check against the menu_router table) and the alias defining a path like /my-url.
I also use TextWrangler and PHPStorm to inspect my code. You could try to search.
Last and least an easy and crude method. Just dump your database using mysqldump into a file and grep this URL. Locate the table then locate the module.
term1/node1 (conforming to the pattern [taxonomy_term]/[node_title]), then you'd have to search for each part of the URL separately, wouldn't you?
You might want to check your aliases. To do this, go to yoursite/admin/config/search/path/list, where you can filter for a url (like my-url). If it comes up, it will tell you content item it is aliasing, and you can edit it from there.
If your using ctools, you might also want to check to see if it's being controlled by the page manager. If page manager is enabled, then you can look at admin/structure/pages to see if any of those match the offending url. I suspect this is the most likely culprit, as it wouldn't show up in the url_alias table of the db, as those paths are stored in page_manager_paths.
