Support for profile fields in user email notifications

now that user_status.module is part of D6 core (http://drupal.org/node/144859), moving this request to the core issue queue. if anyone's interested in seeing this before the D6 feature freeze, please assign this issue to yourself and work on a patch. however, i suspect the only real good way to do this would be if token API made it into D6 (http://drupal.org/node/113614) which seems unlikely at this point. :( so, perhaps this will have to wait for D7, unless someone wants to act fast and come up with a decent solution to D6 without all of token API.

In general i added the possibility to hook the token function to add you own user_mail_token.

this happens by adding a user_mail_tokens-hook to your module.

Also i changed the way how the email_token_help is handled by dynamicly outputting available tokens.

see attachment for diff-patches to the files and here is an example hook implementation.

/**
 * token für usermail erweitern
 *
 * @param $account useraccount
 *
 * @return $tokens = array(
    '!username' => $account->name,
    '!site' => variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal'),
    '!login_url' => user_pass_reset_url($account),
    '!uri' => $base_url,
    '!uri_brief' => preg_replace('!^https?://!', '', $base_url),
    '!mailto' => $account->mail,
    '!date' => format_date(time(), 'medium', '', NULL, $language->language),
    '!login_uri' => url('user', array('absolute' => TRUE, 'language' => $language)),
    '!edit_uri' => url('user/'. $account->uid .'/edit', array('absolute' => TRUE, 'language' => $language)),
  )
 *
 */
function minialter_user_mail_tokens($account) {
    $tokens = array();
    foreach($account as $key=>$value)
    {
        if(is_string($value)&&eregi("profile_",$key))
        $tokens['!'.$key] = $value;
    }
    return $tokens;
}

oh i guess i mixed up something while diffing (wrong order while calling the diff-files), please correct it ;-)

a) New features will only get added to D7 (and even then, not many).

b) This is blocked on #554088: Move user_mail_tokens() and emails to token system which still has a chance of getting into D7.

#554088: Move user_mail_tokens() and emails to token system is fixed now. Wish to see this at least in 8.x

Profile tokens are exposed by Token module and the core actions use the new core token API so you should be able to do this now.
