Multiple path alias for a url

Question

I've installed the pathauto module. I have a content type article. When I'm trying to create an article, the path is created automatically in the form content/article-title, that is fine.

However, I want to pass some dummy values via url like content/article-title/value1, content/article-title/value2. So now I have multiple aliases for the url. I will create some functionality using this dummy value.

If I try to access node/10/value1, I can access the page. But I want to access with path alias like content/article-title/value1.

How can I access a page using content/article-title/value1, content/article-title/value1 and content/article-title?

I don't need to create multiple path alias for url. But I need to access page using above urls.

Is it possible?

Answer:

Eventually, I got the solution for this. Please refer http://www.phponwebsites.com/2016/08/drupal-7-pathauto-multiple-url-alias.html

Answer 1

You need to set path at config >> URL aliases >> patterns under that article patter you need to set something like.

content/[node:title]/[node:field_machine_name]

You can access with pattern url otherwise you can access by default with "node/nid".

Answer 2

You should consider passing the values as parameters instead of arguments.

Arguments:

• content/article-title/value1
• content/article-title/value2

Parameters:

• content/article-title?key1=[value1]&key2=[value2]

Parameters will mean you can still have a single path alias for your node.

You pick up parameters in your code by looking in the global $_GET variable.

Answer 3

You will need multiple aliases for the same node.

Create a custom module that uses hook_node_insert() to trigger a function that uses path_save() to add a new alias for the node.

path_save only overwrites paths if you direct it to do so with $path['pid'];
