10 years ago Paths are not updated automatically (only the current node) and some manual steps are needed for that. In order to use the bulk generation option, paths need to be deleted first, then re-created. However this doesn't work in our system because:
- Aliases depend on other node's aliases (2 levels: content on sections and sections on spaces) and the bulk generation doesn't handle the order in which aliases are regenerated.
- It seems that most of our content has the 'automatically generate path alias' option unchecked (the default should be checked, no idea why this...)
Manual workaround, will need a few steps:
- Run SQL script for re-enabling automatic path generation for all content. This is the query: update pathauto_state set pathauto = 1 where entity_type = 'node';
- Update the content admin view adding the 'Update path alias option'. This one will be included in next release.
- Using the content admin page, select the content that needs to be updated an choose the "Update node alias" operation.
- Optionally if there's too much content for this to be done manually -I believe not yet- aliases can be deleted for all content (nodes) and then regenerated follosing this order: spaces and sections first, on the admin pages, then the rest using Bulk operations.
I've changed the name of one Area from "Users" to "People". However the url was not updated accordingly. This applies to other changes in naming. We should regenerate all urls based on new names
