Issue Summary

Hi Great Module! By inserting a node will the tokens for that node become available?

Thanks,

PD

No, to the main node, it just represents content.

I'm not too sure how we could do that, especially because you'd now have 2 titles, 2 teasers, 2 body, etc.

What's your idea? How would you use those?

Thank you.

Thanks for you reply Alexis, I'm currently using a module called Fill PDF http://drupal.org/project/fillpdf to populate fields in a PDF by grabbing the tokens attached to a NID.

I wanted to use tokens from a parent node that I've attached to the child node in order to populate the PDF but haven't come across a way to do this yet?

Fill PDF only allows you to choose 1 NID so I was hoping by attaching a node, the main node would inherit the attached nodes tokens.

Is this possible or is there a smarter way to achieve what I'm after?

Thanks for your help.

PD,

Well...

Everything is possible, but I don't see how I could make that happen with the NodeInsert module.

If you have some cash, I could get you a specialized module for that to work.

I just cannot think of an existing module capable of that feat... Views does not generate any tokens... but it could be that you could merge both nodes in such a way that you'd get access to all the data you need?

Thank you.

Ummm I think I might have just come across a way to achieve what I'm after... Its a bit of a play around but it'll work. I can use the rules module to load a node reference to the parent node and then use the tokens rules provide to populate the Fill PDF.

Took awhile to figure out that I could do this. Tricky stuff RULES to the rescue.

Thanks for your help Alexis

I thought of Rules too but I did not think that it could help with the fields... But I'm glad you solved your problem. I will mark this request fixed.

Thank you for letting us know your solution.
