Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Hi,
Something that may frustrate a lot of people is the fact that the default token trees do not go beyond 4 depth levels, such that the new style options will never be shown in the token trees when the image is in a deep sub-group (e.g. message: user:main-profile:profile_image). Modifying the recursion level above 4 will often result in a WSOD due to out of memory failures in many setups so this isn't a viable option. The tokens with more than 4 levels (i.e. a:b:c:d:e and above) can still be typed in manually however so this module is of course still useful/useable.
Until lazy loading is standardized in tokens (https://drupal.org/node/1334456) it might be useful to advertise this likely occurrence/frustration.

DamienMcKennaI'm not sure what to do in this scenario - should a help message be added via a theme preprocess function into the token browser?
Comment #2
cmonnow CreditAttribution: cmonnow commentedYeah it's a complicated issue. I think a helpful explanation can be added to the token browser (which may have to be generalised since the Token tweaks module may alter the depth in $variables['recursion_limit']).
From a UI point of view this would be a useability flaw that would probably be more appropriately tackled by the Token module itself (which isn't promising, considering the unlikelihood of a depth-on-demand or autocomplete AJAX-based UI anytime soon in Drupal 8 core). To be honest I don't even know how deep trees should behave in responsive designs, let alone under the multitude of devices (and input methods).

DamienMcKennaMoving this to the Token module as it's a problem with the module's browser, not so much the Imagecache Token module, BICBW and please let me know if I am.
Comment #4
Dave ReidWe can't expand more than four levels due to performance reasons. I would suggest following #1334456: Enable ajax on-demand loading of sub-trees in the Token help which is the best chance at resolving this for items with depth more than 4.

DamienMcKennaOk, lets move this back to the Imagecache Token queue and we'll document the problem in the README.txt file.
