  1. **Installation:
  2. Pathauto is an extension to the path module, which must be enabled.
  3. Pathauto also relies on the Token module, which must be downloaded and
  4. enabled separately.
  5. 1. Unpack the Pathauto folder and contents in the appropriate modules
  6. directory of your Drupal installation. This is probably
  7. sites/all/modules/
  8. 2. Enable the Pathauto module in the administration tools.
  9. 3. If you're not using Drupal's default administrative account, make
  10. sure "administer pathauto" is enabled through access control administration.
  11. 4. Visit the Pathauto settings page and make appropriate configurations
  12. For 5.x: Administer > Site configuration > Pathauto
  13. For 6.x: Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings
  14. **Transliteration support:
  15. If you desire transliteration support in the creation of URLs (e.g. the
  16. replacement of Á with A) then you will need to install the Transliteration
  17. module, which can be found at http://drupal.org/project/transliteration
  18. Once you've installed and enabled the module, simply go to
  19. admin/config/search/path/settings and check the "Transliterate prior to
  20. creating alias" box and path aliases should now be transliterated automagically.
  21. **Upgrading from previous versions:
  22. If you are upgrading from Pathauto 5.x-1.x to 5.x-2.x (or 6.x-2.x) then you
  23. will probably need to change your patterns.
  24. For content patterns:
  25. [user] is now [author-name]
  26. [cat] is now [term]
  27. There may be other changes as well. Please review the pattern examples on
  28. Administration > Site Configuration > Pathauto
  29. If you upgraded from Pathauto 5.x-1.x directly without enabling Token
  30. first then you will need to
  31. 1) download/install the Token module
  32. 2) disable the Pathauto module
  33. 3) re-enable the Pathauto module
  34. Upgrade to 6.x:
  35. Note that the settings page has moved so that it is more logically grouped with
  36. other URL alias related items under
  37. Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings
