It would be really nice if a token existed for flag note, especially for use with rules.

gunzip,

Just to give you a bit more info as why I want this, I think would be cool to be able to create a rule that sends an email to to someone whenever a flag note is created.

That way, you could have an "Ask a Question" flag, and specific users could be notified immediately.

I've tried using the tokenSTARTER module, but so far I've had no luck given my pretty rudimentary php coding skills.

Sincerely,
Rene

an example use case is when I want to fire a "send a tokenised email" action, that sends the note to the recipient email once an item is flagged.

gunzip commented

do you mean, you want to manually type tokens into the flag note like [node-title] etc ?

I just want to include the flag note into action's email body, something like [flag:note]

Just to expand on rgeorgy explanation, the reason I made the feature request is so that once a flag note was added to a node, that I could inform users of that note via email or some other method.

For example, you could use Flag Notes to track issues on nodes, and immediately notify all users of a particular role a what needs to be fixed.

Thanks,
Rene

committed to -dev. now there's a [flag-note] token in the "sending tokenized email" flag action. can you confirm that this works well ?

Hi gunzip,

I tested with Rules, since that's the scenario I'm interested in.

However, I cannot see [flag-note] as one of the token items I can use.

I should point out that I'm not familiar with how to use actions with core, for which this might work fine.

Sincerely,
Rene

sorry there was a small typo, in line 454 you have to put:

if ($type == 'flag')

instead of 

if ($type == 'flag-action')

(committed to dev).

Can you try then? Thank you.
