Token Field

Token Field allows you to define read-only CCK Fields which generate their output using Tokens.

Example

For example, you may have 3 CCK Fields:

• field_currency - (Text, Select Box)
• field_minimum - (Numeric, Textfield)
• field_maximum - (Numeric, Textfield)

You may want to output this as a single field, eg: $100-200. Currently you could do this using a custom module, a theme level template file or the awesomely powerful Computed Field.

Wouldn't it be nice to just define a "template field" without needing to know any PHP?

Enter Token Field.

Using this module you just add a new field to the content type and define the "template" code (which also uses Input Filters). You could setup:

<span class="currency">[field_currency-raw]</span><span class="min">[field_min-raw]</span><span class="max">[field_max-raw]</span>

You have access to the CCK Field for the current node, all other Node level tokens and all Global Tokens.

You can essentially use this to create a Compound CCK Field using Tokens.

Conditional Tokens

A new feature in version 1.3 is conditional tokens using PHP code. You can enable PHP Parsing on the template which would allow you to do something like this:

$items = array();
if (!empty($node->field_foo[0]['value'])) {
  $items[] = '<span>[field_foo-formatted]</span>';
}
if (!empty($node->field_bar[0]['value'])) {
  $items[] = '<span>[field_bar-formatted]</span>';
}
if (!empty($node->field_baz[0]['value'])) {
  $items[] = '<span>[field_baz-formatted]</span>';
}
print implode (' | ', $items);

This would allow you to have between zero and all three tokens present in the field, separated by a pipe. If you did this with a non-php field, you could end up with three pipe symbols appearing if all three tokens were empty.

The PHP code in the template has read-only access to the current $node, $field, $items, $delta and $teaser/$page flags.

Drupal 7

There is a working version for Drupal 7 as a development release, however until #691078: Field tokens is solved, there are no field-level tokens available which kind of restricts the point of the module. The module seems to function ok with normal tokens though. Once the Field Tokens issue is resolved, I will release a supported version of this module for D7.
