Description: The Pathauto module automatically generates path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, categories, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to get aliases like /category/my-node-title.html instead of /node/123. The aliases are based upon... [More...]

Every time I build a drupal site and I watch the magic that pathauto performs I am amazed, as if I were watching it work for the first time. There is a bit of a conceptual hurdle to surmount when starting out with this code, but once you wrap your head around it and understand how it works -- and, as importantly, grasp all the various options that it provides for your URL rewrites -- you will wonder how you ever lived without it. The author of this module should be awarded for brilliance and a powerful contribution to the drupal CMS enterprise.
This module is excellent. It enables the administrator to set up the URL's paths & a normal user creating content doesn't even need to know anything is happening.
While it took a little bit to understand what was actually going on, theres no way I would start another project without this module. Not having to set up URLs makes life so much easier!
This module (particularly its highly flexible and awesomeful 6.x incarnation) is a vital part of my personal sites as well as sites I design for clients, especially the ones who want SEO but don't want to pay for it (sigh). Slap a few well-planned URL aliasing rules into place, and good basic SEO becomes SO! MUCH! EASIER! I love it.
I have installed this on 2 sites so far. It's so handy! Easy to set up, and makes those web addresses easier to refer to. There are many options for customizing how the URLs are written.
I haven't found any bugs so far, but only have it working on two sites.
After the Drupal Admin Menu this is one of the first modules I install, it allows you to categorize your nodes a lot easier and with less work.
I've found the 6.x version a little harder to use than 5.x, this is probably due to the slight changes and I need to get used to them.
Certainly one of the modules you install and then mostly forget about, but I'm sure one of the first to complain about if it wasn't there or broke.
I simply couldn't provide super structured sites without this great module. When you use it time and time again the setup gets easier. This is a great mature module.
We need this module.
Few features doesn't work on Drupal 6.x and its setup is not so easy.
Pathauto can not only give your site the air of a mega-directoy, it can also help you achieve search engine bliss.
Pathauto really makes Drupal stand out
Path auto is very useful for controlling how nodes are aliased. It allows you to set paths for each of your content types, and have all your new nodes automatically follow that pattern. It's a quick way to build an intuitive directory structure for your content.
This module does have some quirks. The interface is a bit crowded, and you'll see some confusing warnings, but these are mostly cosmetic issues.
The functionality is excellent. There are endless options to set how paths are generated, and there is an extensive character replacement feature. The module also has bulk-alias generation, but it can time out if you try to do too many at once. Thankfully, this doesn't cause any real problems, as you can simply continue bulk-generation from where it got cut off.
All in all, this module is invaluable, and I use it on all my sites.
While it's a high quality modification, I find it likes to bug out randomly and often creates bad redirects. However with some work it can be a great Module to have.
This module is almost a given on a site of any magnitude. It allows you to easily control how pages are aliased and, if setup correctly with taxonomy can easily create a 'directory' structure for pages. If you have not tried this module out, give it a go. Read a bit of the documentation and start aliasing!
"Very simple. After installing the module: 1) Create a new Content Type called "Node Block" with nodeblock..."
"I have tried TinyMCE and now FCKeditor and I must say that this one is better. Some bugs but quick response..."
"Radioactivity might be a bit hard to configure due a variety of settings and options but there's a pot..."
