How to use

  1. Install/Enable
  2. Create a 'Rule' Rules component (admin/config/workflow/rules/components/add) with the following Variables in the following order:
    • Value; The variable containing the Token value which you will be altering:
      Data type
      Text
      Label
      Value
      Machine name
      value
      Usage
      Parameter + Provided
    • (optional) Type; The Token type:
      Data type
      Text
      Label
      Type
      Machine name
      type
      Usage
      Parameter
    • (optional) Token; The Token pattern (without brackets):
      Data type
      Text
      Label
      Token
      Machine name
      token
      Usage
      Parameter
    • (optional) Entity; The Tokens data (Node, User, etc):
      Data type
      [Type of entity]
      Label
      Entity
      Machine name
      entity
      Usage
      Parameter
  3. Add any conditions and actions (Data comparison, Set a data value), making any required changes to the 'Value' parameter.
  4. Implement your rule token wherever applicable by appending ":rule_tokens:?" to an existing token, where '?' is the machine name of your Rules component.

    Example: [node:title] with a component named 'rules_demo' would be invoked as [node:title:rule_tokens:rules_demo].
