We should support tokens in the "Other element" field so that you can backstretch the background of an entity.

Component: Field formatter » Context integration

I added that feature in 1382327 to the field formatter but the Context integration is kinda difficult.

Let us figure this out…

will it be possible to use tokens in term views?

currently only these tokens are available

  • Current date
  • Current page
  • Current user
  • Random
  • Site information

but no current Term like on node views there is Current Node
and tokens created by hiding views fields also currently dont work

Could you try to enable the Entity Token module and tell me whether it works then?

Title: Token support for the "Other element" field » Views token support for "Other element" field in views

Oh, I can see the problem here. For sure there are no tokens for nodes etc., this works only when you are using Backstretch as field formatter.

I think a workaround could be displaying whole rendered entity (node or taxonomy term) in order to get this working.
