Thumbs up for the Drupal module 'Views URL alias'

Sereno has been migrating a Drupal 7 intranet of several thousand content items from a menu-based system to one using taxonomy tags. We looked at coding the migration, but found a much quicker route using the Views Bulk Operations module (VBO) to crunch through the menu items, allocating each & every one anew  taxonomy tag based on their pre-existing menu.

The migration was made nice & easy by the Drupal module Views URL Alias. This handy module is great if you need to change anything about nodes en masse, if your Drupal website uses heirachical paths for content. Basically, when combined with VBO, it let's administrators find all nodes with a common string in their URL & make changes to all of them at once.

This was just what we needed, since we could build a VBO view, select all items in a section of the site, & award all of them a taxonomy tag. You need to be on top of VBO before Views URL Alias will be useful for you.

This is a good place to start.
