Background
When porting a static HTML site to a Drupal site, it is very likely that you need to reproduce legacy site's URLs on new site.
For example, if legacy site has a URL link www.example-legacy.com/here/is/path/about.html
, then you want to duplicate the file path on your new site like www.example-drupal.com/here/is/path/about.html
.
Here, here/is/path/about.html
is simply a URL path (alias) on Drupal site. Its internal Drupal URL is something like node/100
(clean URL feature is enabled)
It is very likely that you need to reproduce hundreds, even thousands of such URL links. It is a very time demanding and tedious work. This module is developed to complete this job.
Introduction
This module works in two ways
1) You provide a list of paths (one per line)
2) If legacy site and new (Drupal) site are hosted on one machine and if OS is *nix system, you can tell a directory & file extension to search.
Either way, this module reads outputs of 1) & 2) above mentioned, and creates nodes with node title, node body, and node URL path set to given path.
For 2) only:
