Drupal 7:Pathauto patterns from menu structure hierarchy

Question

I'm trying to create a Pathauto pattern which looks like "Drupal root/parent_menu_item_name/node_title" where "node_title" is a child of "parent_menu_item_name" in the menu hierarchy.

I've tried many different variations, and nothing works. I've tried the suggestions in Menu path in Pathauto, and none of them works at all. It just ends up outputting the node-title, with nothing before it.

I've got the latest versions of the Token and Pathauto modules installed.

Write your own token. For the same issue we wrote a token that gets all the parent paths. – Distract

I believe this question has been answered by Kenan:

Kenan's answer

[node:menu-link:parent:url:path]/[node:title]

It works for me, so I'm very happy!

Answer 2

The token combination [node:menu-link:parent:url:alias]/[node:menu-link] shall work with the following modules :

• token : 7.x-1.0-beta3
• pathauto: 7.x-1.0-rc2

The token patterns seem to vary depending on the version of the token module.

8 months later, but neither these versions nor the most recent ones fix this problem. Also, [node:menu-link:parent:url:alias] is always invalid for me (not showing up in the list of valid tokens). Are you sure these are the only two required modules? – Peanuts

Answer 3

This token uses the menu titles of each parent item to build a url:

[node:menu-link:parents:join-path]/[node:title]

So if you have nested content titled: The Future -> Doc Brown -> Flux Capacitor

The above token will print out:

/the-future/doc-brown/flux-capacitor

Answer 4

This combination works perfectly for me

[node:menu-link:parents:join-path]/[node:menu-link:title]

with the latest token (7.x-1.5) and pathauto (7.x-1.2).

This works for me (for book type nodes): [node:menu-link:parent:title]/[node:title]
