HOWTO rebuild aliases at all pages

Hi m8s.
after import alot of content (about 4000 documents) directly to DB my documents have URLs like: www.site.com/123/124/543.html. (fields alias is empty right now)
howto rebuild all aliases to normal like this: www.site.com/catalog/auto/bmw.html at one click ?
snkz

can you find and share that script ?

On the fly idea : wouldn’t it be great to add this feature to the Doc Manager module ?

it`s a great idea but how to do that now :’(

The community will raise to the challenge as usual
In the meantime if GaneshXL finds the script you’ll have your quick fix

I’m just wondering, have you look at Tools > Configuration > Friendly URLs?

At the most bottom row is:

---

Automatically generate alias:

• Yes
  
• No

Select ’yes’ to have the system automatically generate an alias based on the document’s page title when saving.

@goldsky: That option only works if you open the document and save it, when you save the document the alias get’s created. So it won’t work to generate them for all documents at once.

Ahh... is that, so?

Well, my close idea is making a short php file (since it will be used only once) with the rough concept is copying the database: modx_site_content.pagetitle to modx_site_content.alias (with space / chars cleaning)
