Chatting to a mate on IRC last night, he was trying to get a token that could be used to sort files into directories based on the type (Video, Image, etc) using FileField Paths. I suggested he write a simple token that looks at the mimetype and outputs a cleaner type using Custom Tokens.

Unfortunately it appears that Custom Tokens doesn't allow for 'Field' tokens. I think this would be a great addition to a fantastic module.

Hope you take it into consideration.

Cheers,

Is it possible to include custom tokens as global tokens? SO they'll be available on any fields?

@Deciphered: I am not sure if I have followed you on your request, how would you use a token for sorting files?

@Kane:, yes, you can define global tokens.

Wow, this is an old one.

The request was really simple, Drupal 6 had field tokens, tokens that where passed the individual field data. Such a token could be used with the FileField Paths module so that you could sort files into folders by mime-type or something much more complex.

I have little to no interest in Drupal 6 anymore, so feel free to close this issue.
