Menu path in Pathauto

Question

How do I get pathauto under Drupal 7 to generate a URL alias by the full menu path?

Answer 1

I ended up using:

[node:menu-link:parent:url:path]/[node:menu-link]

Heavy caution though: If the node does not have a menu link, you'll end up without an automatically aliased page. On the bright side, this might make you aware of orphan pages. (Consider it a feature!)

Note that using the pattern:

[node:menu-link:url:path]/[node:menu-link]

will only give the node's menu link, not that of the parent (which would be needed to reference the parent's path).

Or the pattern: [node:parent:url:path]/[node:menu-link]

throws an error in my instance of Drupal 7 about invalid tokens (even though I have the token module installed).
