Definition

custom_url_rewrite_inbound(&$result, $path, $path_language)
documentation/hooks/core.php, line 2295

Description

custom_url_rewrite_inbound is not a hook, it's a function you can add to settings.php to alter incoming requests so they map to a Drupal path. This function is called before modules are loaded and the menu system is initialized and it changes $_GET['q'].

This function should change the value of $result by reference.

Parameters

$result The Drupal path based on the database. If there is no match in the database it'll be the same as $path.

$path The path to be rewritten.

$path_language An optional language code to rewrite the path into.

    $result = 'node'. $matches[1];
  }
  // Redirect a path called 'e' to the user's profile edit page.
  if ($path == 'e') {
    $result = 'user/'. $user->uid .'/edit';
  }
