   1  **Installation:
   2  
   3  Pathauto is an extension to the path module, which must be enabled.
   4  
   5  Pathauto also relies on the Token module, which must be downloaded and
   6  enabled separately.
   7  
   8  1. Unpack the Pathauto folder and contents in the appropriate modules
   9  directory of your Drupal installation.  This is probably
  10    sites/all/modules/
  11  2. Enable the Pathauto module in the administration tools.
  12  3. If you're not using Drupal's default administrative account, make
  13  sure "administer pathauto" is enabled through access control administration.
  14  4. Visit the Pathauto settings page and make appropriate configurations
  15     For 5.x: Administer > Site configuration > Pathauto
  16     For 6.x: Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings
  17  
  18  **Transliteration support:
  19  If you desire transliteration support in the creation of URLs (e.g. the 
  20  replacement of À with A) then you will need to rename the file 
  21  i18n-ascii.example.txt to i18n-ascii.txt 
  22  
  23  You can then freely edit the i18n-ascii.txt without worrying that your changes 
  24  will be over-written by upgrades of Pathauto.
  25  
  26  For details on how to transliterate any UTF8 character, please see the full 
  27  i18n-ascii-fill.txt file information at http://drupal.org/node/185664
  28  
  29  **Upgrading from previous versions:
  30  If you are upgrading from Pathauto 5.x-1.x to 5.x-2.x (or 6.x-2.x) then you
  31  will probably need to change your patterns.
  32  
  33  For content patterns:
  34      [user] is now [author-name]
  35      [cat] is now [term]
  36  
  37  There may be other changes as well.  Please review the pattern examples on
  38        Administration > Site Configuration > Pathauto
  39  
  40  If you upgraded from Pathauto 5.x-1.x directly without enabling Token
  41  first then you will need to
  42    1) download/install the Token module
  43    2) disable the Pathauto module
  44    3) re-enable the Pathauto module
  45  
  46  Upgrade to 6.x:
  47  Note that the settings page has moved so that it is more logically grouped with
  48  other URL alias related items under
  49    Administer > Site building > URL alias > Automated alias settings
