I use the Rules module. I want to add 1 to a CCK integer field on an action. Someone told me to create a custom token doing this addition.

So, I installed the tokenSTARTER module.

Now, how do I access the content profile (I load it in the rules chain) where the needed CCK field is in?

  • What exactly does the token need to output? Doesn't the Token module, or the CCK module provide a token for that?

This module is very good for that: Custom Tokens.

It gives the user the ability to create custom tokens for specific replacements that can improve other modules relying on the Drupal 7 token API or, for Drupal 6, the Token module.

  • How do I access the right field from the content_profile? I still need drupal api knowledge to do it. This module doesn't help me..

  • That module is good for creating custom tokens. I only need to create one though, and I'd prefer the PHP that generates the value for the token be in SVN not in the database. Does anyone have a simple example of how to create your own custom token?

  • Have a look at the API.txt in the token module, which explains about hook_token_values() and hook_token_list().

    If you need an example of a token to work from, checkout the examples module drupal.org/project/examples and the token_example module. Thats a quick way to learn how to create tokens.
