Anyone have any ideas on how I could reference a custom D7 field and use it as a token. The field in question is actually a term reference (autocomplete field). I know how to create tokens, just finding it difficult to reference Drupal 7 fields. I plan on using it to create a custom path, with pathauto.

node module uses

        case 'body':
        case 'summary':
          if (!empty($node->body)) {
            $item = $node->body[$node->language][0];
            $column = ($name == 'body') ? 'value' : 'summary';
            $instance = field_info_instance('node', 'body', $node->type);
            $replacements[$original] = $sanitize ? _text_sanitize($instance, $node->language, $item, $column) : $item[$column];
          }

Could i not do the same with a custom field?

There should be a token available.

If you have a taxonomy field named field_example there should be a token [node:field-example:name] (the term name).
Look under the Node tab.

Best of luck.

Ok im looking under path auto settings /patterns, and there definately no field_type tokens. Just Drupals default fields. I always thought for custom fields you need to create your own token?

davidd07: I'm trying to do the exact same thing. Fields are not showing for me as Tokens in Pathauto... and it sure would help if they did.

See patch in comment #143

It works. Seems like it should be committed.

@#1 vglocus,

Entity API and Entity Tokens modules provide that too. Check if you are using them.

I think this is not a duplicate of #691078: Field tokens

The core fields do have tokens, but external custom fields don't.

Please see the attachment.

the field field_example, field_recruit, field_mail doesn't show in token.

Yes, this is in fact a duplicate of #691078: Field tokens and it would be up to the modules providing those field types to also provide tokens once 691078 lands.
