Node System Links

The Node System Links module (nodesyslinks) provides an input filter which converts internal node links from their aliased path to their system path.

In an ideal world the formatter would look to see if there is an internal aliased node link and will convert it to /node/99.

Let's say you have an Article content type with a body field, and the body field contains links which have been added via the WYSIWYG editor. The links will pretty much always have been added to point to an aliased path, e.g. website.com/about-us rather than a system path such as website.com/node/99.

However there are some scenarios in which the system path is better for our purposes. This module would allow you to apply this in the scenarios where you need it.

The input filter provided by the module is called 'Convert aliases to system links'. It allows you to convert internal node links in any content type and in any field.

After installing the module, you will need to enable the input filter in the text formats at ../admin/config/content/formats/.

It is also easy to accommodate links that begin with the base path of the site (absolute links) as well as taxonomy and user links. If you have a need for any of these, raise a support request at module's issue queue and I will happily implement it in my spare time.
