Issue Summary

(This little module rocks.)

Is there any way to get the theme path in one of the tokens used in the basic editor? I don't know much about tokens, so this might belong in their issue queue. But what I'm envisioning is a token like [theme:directory] so that I can prefix certain URLs and such.

Seconded - and also second the portion about this module rocking. I hadn't needed to make a custom formatter until just recently, and your module is extremely helpful in this regard!

Hi guys,

Firstly, thanks for the kind words, appreciated :)

As for the tokens, I think it's a great idea and have personally had similar needs myself (a file path minus the files directory so I could use imagecache in my pattern), but I'm not entirely sure if my module is the best place to define the tokens. I will do a bit of research to see if there is already any modules out there defining tokens similar to this and if not I will have to weigh up the options.

In the short term, I highly recommend the Custom Tokens module, it's a great little tool to define your own Token.

Will get back to you with more information as I have it.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

Edit: Of course you could always opt for the advanced formatter editor and use the path_to_theme(), but you would need to be somewhat knowledgeable of PHP and the Drupal API.

While I still believe that this isn't entirely the place for these tokens to be defined, I made the decision to do it anyway.

Additional tokens are:

[path-to-theme]
Path to the current theme
[path-to-theme-????]
Path to defined theme; path-to-theme-garland, etc.
[path-to-module-????]
Path to defined module; path-to-module-custom_formatters, etc.
[path-to-files]
Path to files directory.
[filefield-imagecache-????]
File path to defined ImageCache preset; filefield-imagecache-thumb, etc.

Will be committed shortly, and I will likely be releasing version 1.3 today.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

Nice! I will be porting the custom formatters on a site about ready to go to production, and I'll be sure to mention your module in my writeup!

I think it would be nice to include in the module a page viewing the current tokens available.
