Token

Tokens are small bits of text that can be placed into larger documents via simple placeholders, like %site-name or [user]. The Token module provides a central API for modules to use these tokens, and expose their own token values.

#D7CX: We don't need to pledge that Token will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released because token is part of Drupal 7!

Note that Token module doesn't provide any visible functions to the user on its own, it just provides token handling services for other modules.

For Drupal 6, the Token module provides a "Token Actions" module which can be enabled separately. This provides several "actions" for the Drupal core Actions/Trigger modules to use that take advantage of the Token replacement functionality.

Modules that use the Token module and provide tokens via the API include Organic Groups, Pathauto, eCommerce, and Ubercart. A full list of Modules that use Token Module.

Report any problems you find so that we can release a stable version.

Token is co-maintained by eaton and greggles and mikeryan.
