Add site details to be used as tokens throughout site

Question

Is there a way to add additional fields to the config/system/site-information area such as "business location", "hours of operation", "phone number", etc. I would then like to be able to use that information throughout nodes and blocks as tokens or something like tokens.

That way if a phone number changes or business hours change you can just change it on the config page and it will change throughout the site.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

I think you could achieve this by altering the site information form in a custom module to add a custom submit function which would use the Token API to add desired values in tokens.

I found a good post explaining the token part for 6/7 here and a good post for altering the form here.

The module developer's guide is handy too.
