Create Token Example for D6 (from Token STARTER?)

See also #734618: Move the tokenSTARTER to the Examples project

Initial token example. Still need to add token_example.tokens.inc.

Ooh, I had a terrific idea on how to really demonstrate example 'tokens' by having this add a token type of 'text format' since it can also then demonstrate token chaining! Will post final version tonight!

Ok happy to announce this is ready for final review. I'll also upload this to www.davereid.net/d7/examples/token so it can be previewed live.

Committed to CVS! Working on a D6 example now.

#2: 724886-token-example-D7.patch queued for re-testing.

I did some work on porting Token example to D6. Basic functionality is completed with D7 token example as a reference. There are no tests yet. Will wirte them, but I would like to get some feedback about current work first.

Thanks so much for the submission, slashrsm.

Examples are supposed to have good descriptions for every function/aspect/topic; indications about what is required, and what is optional, why/what could be, can be, must be, and should be, and some kind of script about what is the code doing (I already did that bad the first times I submitted examples). The backport to D6 needs comments, and the code needs explanation. Some cleanup is also required, i.e. the .info file has files[] directives that are only used in D7.

Marking as NW. slashrsm, currently the issue is assigned to Dave, if you are going to make that port, please, let us know to don't do the same work twice.

Thanks again!

I understand. Since I am currently at the beggining with my code contributions to Drupal, I asked for feedback. Thanks for it.

I submited this patch since I saw that there was no activity for some time at this issue. I'd love to finish this if it is fine with Dave and the others, or I can also leave it to somebody else.

So, slashrsm, keep alive the issue, as long as Dave has raise a hand yet. Rfay is a little bit busy this week, and probably will be able to catch the issue in a few days, in the meantime you can do the cleanup, (pass coder module) and start digging about how to write a testcase for it.

Thanks for your help and contribution!

Gah, I keep forgetting to make a patch for the module I have in D6, which is already completed and passes tests.

Looks fine to me.

slashrsm, try to find the differences between your patch and the one submitted by Dave, and then grab another issue :) any help is appreciated, and newcomers are very very welcome. (If you are going to work on something it is a good idea to mention first in the issue queue).

Thanks again, and sorry for this confusion :) lets go with Dave's patch this time.

No problem. Will do that. I learned a lot through work on this patch, so it was defenetley not a waste of time. I will let you know before I start to code next time.
