Drupal 7.x

Is there a quick and easy way to edit a node when one knows the url alias only and not the nid?

For example, if my node has the following url alias
www.drupal.org/my-node

Is there any way in Drupal 7 that I can do
www.drupal.org/my-node/edit
or any other technique?

(We can do this using the Sub Path Alias module in Drupal 6 but its not available for Drupal 7 and I wouldnt like to install a module just for that)

I am currently working on a proof-of-concept with the view of replacing a jsp and Oracle site with one in Drupal. So far I think it can be done and it is just my lack of familiarity with Drupal that is holding me back. I've currently managed to replicate 50% of the functionality using views, blocks and custom node types.

We currently publish 15 different publications per week and each of those editions will have multiple stories in it.

I've created a custom node type to store the details of publication e.g. Name, logo, a description of what it offers, etc.
I have another custom type for a story which has title, the story, publication date, and a drop down of the list of publications so I can store which publication each story appeared in.

I want to have a "Top Story" page which lists all the Publications alphabetically and shows the most recent story for each. e.g.

PUBLICATION 1, Publication_logo
Story_Title, Story_Publication_Date
Story_Content

PUBLICATION 2, Publication_logo
Story_Title, Story_Publication_Date
Story_Content

etc...

I could use blocks but that would mean a code change if we added a publication.
I would like a fully dynamic solution i.e. the list of publications automatically matches the list of nodes of publication_type and shows only the most recent story for each publication.

Hi,
in D7 is option to install modules from UI. I have installed newest Drupal version 7.7. Somehow I have not this option. When I go to page admin/modules/install I am redirected to page admin/modules. I have installed D7 7.7 twice on two different domains. One of them has correct link but on the second I can upload modules only with FTP.

Could anybody help, what can be wrong?
thanks
Tomas
