I know that tokens (token module) can be used to fill in tokens.
But for my articles (of node type page) how can I use tokens so that my site's name etc. can replaced automatically?
Check out the Token Filter module. It will allow you to use tokens within your node body field.
From the module page:
In the text where you use that input filter you can use substitution tokens with
[token global site-name] etc. You can use the global context, the user context and any
custom context available. You need to enable the Token Filter for any of your existing
filter types first.
For instructions on using this module, see the README.txt
Drupal 7
Install and enable Token Filter module and enable 'Replace tokens' filter e.g. for Full HTML text format.
For testing may edit any node and just type [site:name] to see if that works.
For Help, as admin go to Help->Token and you will find all the tokens you can use (/admin/help/token).

I'm researching options to synchronize external data to a Category and Keyword list.
I have a metadata field with a states field that uses a category called US States.
When I preview my component with a simple XSLT component template (<xsl:copy-of select="." />), I can see:
<tcm:Content>
...
</tcm:Content>
<tcm:Metadata><Metadata xmlns="http://createandbreak.net/schema/generic">
<states>California</states>
<states>New York</states>
</Metadata></tcm:Metadata>
When I update the keyword and preview, I can see updated values.
<tcm:Content>
...
</tcm:Content>
<tcm:Metadata><Metadata xmlns="http://createandbreak.net/schema/generic">
<states>Californias</states>
<states>New York</states>
</Metadata></tcm:Metadata>
Which is great. It looks like we do not need to synchronize components (open, edit, and save) to use updated keywords. Is that a safe assumption?
If I update a keyword, do I need to update components that use it in order to publish component presentations with the updated values?
Do I need to also be careful when moving components with content porter?
No, you don't need to do anything manually for those Keyword fields to be "Content Porter"-safe. Tridion stores the link from your Keyword field to the Keyword definition (in the category) as a so-called managed link (a TCM URI).
The reason you don't see this value in your XSLT has to do with the way Tridion traditionally exposes the Keywords in WebDAV: it hides the TCM URIs there and instead just exposes the value of the selected keyword. Since Keyword values must be unique within their category, this will always allow you to look up the correct TCM URI if needed.
But when exporting (and in general when you're using the API to access content) you should retrieve the Component XML with the TCM URIs in place. Check the API documentation for your programming language to see which Filter/ReadOption you need to specify for that.
I have been trying to create a page using views that will list down all the nodes authored by a specific user.
The user name will be specified in the path (like - stuff/[user-name] )
Can someone please tell me how to do this using Views.
I am stuck on a dead end
for the views url path specify: stuff/%
in the arguments section add: user -> user: name
Should do it, but I'm not sure if it isn't buggy (see this issue: http://drupal.org/node/744468)
If you use user:id instead of username, you will be fine.
I'm a Drupal nub. I would like to check on every page if user (anonymouse) agreed to somekind of terms. I suppose i should write small custom module ?
Where will this condition be written
if(!$_COOKIE('confirm')){
//jQuery show confirmation form
//Set cookie for 1hour
}
maybee in page.tpl.php ? Please, give me some tips ..
If you don't want to store the info for a long time, you should use $_SESSION variable. Then in preprocess page you could check if the user has accepted and set a variable that you can use in your page.tpl.php.
user_save() accepts an array argument which you can put custom data into. This will then be loaded with your $user object and you can use in any template file.
Check out these modules:
http://drupal.org/project/legal
http://drupal.org/project/terms_of_use
The Legal and TOS modules are good if you need a login. If working with anonymous users, however, you'll need to use the rules module with https://www.drupal.org/project/rules_session_vars.
I have a node called artists. It has a field called shortname. I want to have it so that when I add an artists with shortname = 'foo' you can navigate to http://bar.com/foo/ and it will show that artist's node.
What's the magic configuration in pathauto to make this happen?
You need The path auto which requires the token module. You'll need to set up your path using the [title-raw] token. Which should be used with care as node titles could inject bad stuff into your URLs.
It's not a good idea to have http://example.com/[title-raw]. You'll end up with possible name collisions. Try http://example.com/artist/[title-raw]
I don't know if I'm on the right track but I'm trying to let users of my web site create there own versions of pages on my web site.
Basically I'd like to make our documentation used as a starting point where they just add details and make a new page for themselves in the process.
I have a 'book' content type that I have changed with CCK and a 'client edits' content type that uses a nodereferencefromURL widget to link itself to the book node.
So simple version of what I'm saying is I have a link on my book pages that creates a node using client edits content type. I would like to put some fields on the client edits content type that take the values of some of the fields from the book page it is linked from.
I'm sure I'm missing something as I would have thought someone would have tried this before but I can't even find a hint on how to go about this.
All I really need is a point in the right direction if my current thinking is wrong.
Current thinking is that I use a php script to get the default value for a field on the new node add screen that drags the value for a field from the book I'm linking from.
I'm thinking this is the case because there is an option for default values for the field in cck manage fields that lets you put in a php value to return a default value for your field.
Am I on the right track or is there already a module or process that does what I'm talking about and I'm just too dumb to find it.
This sounds a little strange, are your client edits going to be a diff from the original node or just coppied data?
I would prehaps do it a more simple way, just have book nodes, and have different fields disaply depending on who edits it (enable the content_permissions module). That way you can use the node clone module to create the users copy.
You will need to make a module to contain your custom php code.
I ended up using rules to save information from the user and the cloned node into hidden fields.
One that saved the original node ID into a field when ever you create content of that type unless the url ends with Clone. This means that when you create the clone the original node ID is kept in the field.
That made it easy to use a views argument that took the node ID to make the clone appear along side the original when a user visits the original page.
The second rule trick was to compute a field that saved the "store name" from the profile of the user only when saving clone content.
This meant that there was a hidden field on the clone that stored the info so I could then use another views argument to restrict the view to only people with the same store name in their profile.
I am no good with PHP but I managed to find a snippet (can't remember where) that returns the store name of the current logged in user as the argument.
global $user;
profile_load_profile($user);
return $user->profile_store_name;
