Finally got around to pushing this out. I’ve been thinking about it for a bit, and it just started as something to help me quickly generate url aliases. But after using it on two projects I thought some others might like it.
The module grew out of the need to have search engine friendly URLs for view driven listing pages. And by “listing pages”, I mean a view that’s displaying all the nodes that are marked with the provided term argument, i.e. articles/88 should be articles/software-news .
The module has two features – bulk generation and recurring maintenance. Bulk generation is a one shot, create or delete style feature. It creates or deletes all the aliases for a view in one action. The recurring maintenance aspect is to help with the inevitable occurrence of taxonomy name changes.

Is this really just an extension of pathauto (that is desperately needed)? Would it be possible to put this functionality into pathauto properly so that things like Panels can benefit from the same technology? I suspect that’s a fair bit of work, though at the end of the day the community would really benefit.
I actually started trying to integrate it into pathauto, but time became an issue and got hung up on integrating instead of finding a working solution. I also wasn’t convinced at the time that I would be able to cover all the bases and not break pathauto. But, I am going to take another look at moving it into pathauto since I have some time this week. I also need to make contact with the pathauto authors. ;)
Hey guys,
so ironic, I just did the same thing yesterday. Our problem is that we are using panels2 everywhere, and the client wants “mini-sites” like:
/campaigns/bushmeat
with:
I’m not sure how this relates
