destination paths not being found

ok, thank you.

bit cryptic for me to understand.

a1tsal: can you please take a look at this and modify your php snippets accordingly? i tried a few things, but it didn't change the result. i was probably doing it wrong.

also can you explicitly tell me which box i should be making the change to /comments in? i assumed the bottom box, but i realize i have no idea which is the 'inbound' url and which is the 'outbound', so i may have done it backwards. better yet, if you could reproduce the code with the change explicitly made, i'd be most grateful.

flevour is back from his trip in the next day or so. hopefully he will be able to follow up then if we still haven't got it working.

thank you.

ok, sure, dave. if you can look at it, that would be awesome. a1tsal and i are working on the same thing stemming from talk module paths problem, but he wrote the code. all i did was plug it in. as he reported on the other thread, he had trouble making it work, but then eventually it did.

code is shown on this comment and repeated below: http://drupal.org/node/375272#comment-2848452

the goal is to rename talk module paths from things like /node/151/talk to SEF paths like /pingo-review/comments.

per comment by greggles (http://drupal.org/node/375272#comment-2778394), he advised with use url_alter + subpath alias to make this happen.

a1tsal couldn't make it work with subpath alias, but finally did with this module alone. i can't make it work either way.

this code below doesn't do the /comments renaming part and i'm not sure where that is supposed to go.

in top box:

if (preg_match('|(.+)/talk$|', $path, $matches)) {
  $src = db_result(db_query("SELECT src FROM {url_alias} WHERE dst = '%s' AND language IN('%s', '') ORDER BY language DESC",
    $matches[1],
    $path_language ? $path_language : $GLOBALS['language']->language));
  if ($src) {
    $result = $src . "/talk";
  }
}

in bottom box:

if (preg_match('|node/(\d+)/talk|', $original_path, $matches)) {
  $dst = db_result(db_query("SELECT dst FROM {url_alias} WHERE src = 'node/%s' AND language IN('%s', '') ORDER BY language DESC",
    $matches[1],
    $path_language ? $path_language : $GLOBALS['language']->language));
  if ($dst) {
    $path = $dst . "/talk";
  }
}

any help would be much appreciated!

thank you very much.
