Hi

I'm really struggling with a Drupal website that i've inherited and hope somebody can help me. I'm a PHP developer that hasn't used any CMS before and find this thoroughly unintuitive.

I need to change the name of a section of my site from reports to education.

At present I create a new page for the Reports section (Create content > Reports Page) A page is created and automatically given the URL, (note the reports prefix): www.mysite.com/reports/page-i-just-created

I don't know where this prefix comes from and need to change it. It's driving me nuts (note the username).

I've checked the Content Types and for the report page it shows:

Name: Reports page
Type: reportspage

I've tried changing this to :

Name: Education page
Type: reportspage

However, when I now create a new Educators page the url is not including the prefix "reports".

The next problem is that i'd like to change the prefix from reports to education and have this reflected across backdated across the current reports page.

Does anybody know who I can do this?

I would guess you have the pathauto module installed. It allows you to set/change the aliases for content on a per content type basis. You can also mass update the existing aliases.

I think the path auto module might have been enabled. Look for configuration settings of path auto module which provides you steps on how to configure url alias by content type. There you cahnge it from Reprots to Education. This will start work for new nodes.

For existing content, go to admin content, select all content and from update options, select update url alias.. and the existing node urls will get updated.
