Update README.txt - How to initially set up Pathauto

Glad you were able to solve it. Thanks for reporting back here about your experience.

Interesting, this happened to me, and the settings by module page seems not to show a direct link to the pathauto settings page. Makes it hard to find if you don't know where to look...

@inactivist - if you have ideas on how to improve the situation I'd love to hear them.

The admin/by-modules page only lists (afaik) to level links and not "local tasks".

@greggles - I'll look into this. Sadly, I'm totally new to D6 development, and have only done a few ports of my 4.7 modules to D5, so this is all going to be a big adventure...

In any case, thanks for the great module and keep up the good work, all!

well perhaps we can use this as an opportunity to update the readme file. Any suggestions for that? I will take a look later.

This shouldn't be set to fixed, if there's still stuff to do... :)

It appears that we could add a link in the module-specific help page, since the module has control of that text? So I would prefer to see this done there as well as in the README.TXT file.

If I'm not explaining this in a clear manner, let me know and I'll try to clarify...

How about this?

I know that I could put the path to the settings in the separate branches, but I like having both of them so that 6.x folks are more likely to notice it.

Slightly updated version to include some of the ideas from #269311: Pathauto and duplicate urls (update README.txt with best practices).

Made some small adjustments, but looks good. Not marking RTBC as I'm not one of those missing the documentation in the first place, so I think some of the folks complaining about lack of documentation should check whether this is good.

I am not one of those missing the documentation but after reading through the diff I like it. I might have some familiarity blinders but I think the patch is a go.

patch likes the patch.

Thanks guys. Freso, your fix of Urls to URLs notified me of that and I found a bunch more places to fix that.

I also changed from "Site Configuration" to "Site configuration" in INSTALL.txt for 5.x

So, yet another patch attached. I consider this RTBC, but think we should wait a few days to see if any more people have ideas on how to make it easier to understand.

You need to re-roll against latest HEAD, or, well, at least not have the pathauto.module hunk in the patch. :)

bah.

Patch applies cleanly. +1

Still looks good to me, and seeing as nay abody else has given any comments as on how to improve it further, I'm marking RTBC.

This looks good to me, as far as a README.txt based solution goes. I'm still trying to figure out how to provide a direct link while inside Drupal 6 admin, but that belongs under another issue. :D

+1

Applied to both 5.x and 6.x - thanks Freso and steamedpenguin and inactivist.

@inactivist - I'll be happy to commit anything that will help people find that link. It sucks up about 20 minutes a week right now of marking issues duplicate :(

@greggles: Getting 6.x-1.1 out will help some on it, as we won't have a rampant link to the 5.x location floating about in the field descriptions. ;)
