Generate url aliasing based on taxonomy term - drupal

Question

I have a vocab category and four terms within it. what i want to do is if content is tagged with a termin in particular say "term1" to have the url generated as word1/[node:title] and for all the other tags just the standard url formatting.
If i wanted the term in the url obviously id use pattern replacement but i want another word to be used if a particular tag is used

I can't think of an easy plug-and-play way of achieving this. You may have to create your own token for the "Default path pattern" in Pathauto's URL alias settings:
/**
* Implementation of hook_token_info().
*/
function MODULE_token_info() {
$info['tokens']['node']['node-term-path'] = array(
'name' => t('Node path by term'),
'description' => t('The path to a node based on its taxonomy terms.'),
);
return $info;
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_tokens().
*/
function MODULE_tokens($type, $tokens, array $data = array(), array $options = array()) {
$replacements = array();
if ($type == 'node' && !empty($data['node'])) {
$node = $data['node'];
foreach ($tokens as $name => $original) {
switch ($name) {
case 'node-term-path':
$items = field_get_items('node', $node, 'TAXONOMY_FIELD_NAME');
foreach ($items as $item) {
$tids[] = $item['tid'];
}
if (in_array(TID_OF_TERM1, $tids)) {
// Path for nodes with term1
$replacements[$original] = 'word1/'. pathauto_cleanstring($node->title);
}
else {
// Path for other nodes
$replacements[$original] = 'content/'. pathauto_cleanstring($node->title);
}
break;
}
}
}
return $replacements;
}

Found a simple way actually to anyone who need a similar solution use the module Entity Reference.
http://drupal.org/project/entityreference
I just created a new field for the user account select entity reference then you can choose any entity within drupal to reference.
(ie so you can select a term/content/anything)
