Overview
Creates auto login URLs on demand and through tokens.
This is mostly a developer's module. The better use for me is to convert all links of a specific text to auto login links.
It also provides two tokens that you may use on mass emailing like simplenews.
Use case
You may get an auto login URL for a user($uid).
// Drupal 7.
$auto_login_url = auto_login_url_create($uid, $destination);
print $auto_login_url;
// Drupal 8. As above plus.
$alu_service = \Drupal::service('auto_login_url.create');
$auto_login_url = $alu_service->create($uid, $destination);
print $auto_login_url;
Or convert all links of a text to auto login for a user($uid).
// Drupal 7.
$auto_login_url_text = auto_login_url_convert_text($uid, $text);
print $auto_login_url_text;
// Drupal 8. As above plus.
$alu_service = \Drupal::service('auto_login_url.create');
$auto_login_url_text = $alu_service->convert_text($uid, $text);
print $auto_login_url_text;
Also there are two tokens:
['tokens']['user']['auto-login-url-token']
['tokens']['user']['auto-login-url-account-edit-token']
These may be used in mass emailing modules or anywhere user tokens are available.
If you want extra tokensyou may try Auto Login URL Tokens (D7 only), which is a module in development that lets you create custom auto login URLs and expose them to tokens.
You can also easily create new tokens programmatically that use Auto Login URL functions:
/**
* Implements hook_token_info().
*/
function my_module_token_info() {
// Add new tokens.
$info = array();
// Link that goes to user page.
$info['tokens']['user']['auto-login-url-account-token'] = array(
'name' => t("Auto Login URL account view"),
'description' => t('This an auto login for the user account page.'),
);
return $info;
}
/**
* Implements hook_tokens().
*/
function my_module_tokens($type, $tokens, array $data = array(), array $options = array()) {
$replacements = array();
if ($type == 'user') {
$user = $data['user'];
foreach ($tokens as $name => $original) {
switch ($name) {
case 'auto-login-url-account-token':
$replacements[$original] = auto_login_url_create($user->uid, drupal_get_path_alias('user/' . $user->uid), TRUE);
break;
}
}
}
return $replacements;
}

Happy News
Thanks to the efforts in #3303974: Automated Drupal 10 compatibility fixes and other issues, the next release will be a stable release! Thank you everyone who contributed even a little!
Similar modules
A very similar module that you may want to evaluate is urllogin (D7 only). The main reason I created ALU is that I wanted an easier API to create tokens and URLs on demand. On the other hand urllogin focuses very much on security concerns.
