Forum Post urls with Pathauto

Question

I'm using Drupal (v7.21) with Pathauto and Advanced Forum and would like the paths to be formatted like:

domain.com/forum
domain.com/forum/the_topic_name
domain.com/forum/the_topic_name/the_post_name

Under Forum Paths 'Pattern for forums and forum containers' is set as:

[term:vocabulary]/[term:name]

And under Content Paths I've set 'Pattern for all Forum topic paths' as:

[node:taxonomy_forums]/[node:title]

This is working except for the Posts which are missing the /forum/ part:

domain.com/the_topic_name/the_post_name

I could manually get this to work by setting the 'Pattern for all Forum topic paths' as:

forum/[node:taxonomy_forums]/[node:title]

But I'd rather have it set using a pattern if possible.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

you can add pattern like [node:content-type] or [node:content-type:name]. So the actual pattern will be [node:content-type]/[node:taxonomy_forums]/[node:title]

Answer 2

From the answer by monymirza it works as:

set Pattern for all Forum topic paths as
[node:content-type:machine-name]/[node:taxonomy_forums]/[node:title]

It also works with:

set Pattern for all Forum topic paths as
[node:taxonomy-forums:vocabulary]/[node:taxonomy-forums:name]/[node:title]

But if you have a Topic within sub Forums/Containers it won't show them in the urls for Topics. So from more research I found that you can get Topics to show the correct path with:

set Pattern for all Forum topic paths as
[node:taxonomy-forums:vocabulary]/[node:taxonomy-forums:parent]/[node:taxonomy-forums:name]/[node:title]

You then need to set the pattern for the Forum/Container paths as they are separate:

set Pattern for forums and forum containers as
[term:vocabulary]/[term:parent:name]/[term:name]

For both of these if you have multiple levels of sub categories you can keep extending this with 'parent:parent' like:

set Pattern for forums and forum containers as
[term:vocabulary]/[term:parent:parent:parent:name]/[term:parent:parent:name]/[term:parent:name]/[term:name]

If I've missed anything please let me know as I'm very new to Drupal.
