Hello again,

I am generating user profiles on account activation. I was wondering if there was a way I could do one of two things.

1) Set a specific url_alias upon node or object creation.

2) Modify the url_alias once the node / object has already been created.

I have looked at the doxygen documentation for eZURLAlias and I am having a hard time determining its purpose. I have also thought utilizing the persistent object's setAttribute method and overriding the default "url_alias", but I thought it would be best if I ran it by the eZ think tank before I tried to do something like that.

Thanks in advance.

Chad
