I'm building a custom module to build some tokens. I have added hook_token_info() and it works great. I haved added hook_tokens(), but I'm not able to debug with var_dump() or with dpm().

function mymoduletoken_token_info() { $info['tokens']['node']['seccion'] = array( 'name' => t('Seccion'), 'description' => t('Custon token to add to the G.A. script more optoins in seccion'), ); $info['tokens']['node']['subseccion'] = array( 'name' => t('Subseccion'), 'description' => t('Custon token to add to the G.A. script more options into subseccion'), ); return $info; } function mymoduletoken_tokens($type, $tokens, array $data = array(), array $options = array()) { dpm($type); dpm($token); dpm($data); dpm($options); }

I would like to debug the different options to build the token with the information I need.

  • If you add a hook implementation to an activated module, you have to clear the cache. Otherwise, Drupal will not know that your module implements a hook that it previously did not implement. Commented Jun 5, 2013 at 14:57
  • Thanks Oswald. But the question, how to make the dpm() to know the information I have in some urls to use with token. Commented Jun 6, 2013 at 8:18

I think I'm following you...you want a way to invoke the tokens you've created outside of their natural context, so you can debug easily? If so, you can use the token_replace() function. As you're defining tokens that need a node object, you'll have to load an appropriate one up for the job:

// Load the node. $node = node_load($appropriate_nid); // Prepare the text string. $text = 'something involving [node:seccion]'; // Set up some options. Your mileage may vary here. $options['sanitize'] = FALSE; // Get the replacement text. $replacement = token_replace($text, array('node' => $node), $options);

That will invoke your module's implementation of hook_tokens(), and the dpm() calls will fire.

If you're doing a lot of token development it might make sense to wrap that functionality in a simple form.
