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.Like a number of other posters I had an issue with CCK field tokens not working.
My problem: I have a set of Rules that sets a number of CCK fields based on a user reference CCK field. I want to use these CCK fields in my auto_nodetitle. These CCK fields only get set by the Rules after Auto_nodetitle has already run, so my title is empty.
Underlying problem: auto_nodetitle currently has a weight of 5 in the system table, where Token has 10 and Rules has 20. So auto_nodetitle gets called first, then the other two.
My solution: Set auto_nodetitle weight to 500 (or anything above 20 will do, but it's an INT(11) field, so go crazy). I don't see any reason for it to be low, so high is good, you want everything to be finished before auto_nodetitle does its thing. I've added a patch that does this, you'll need to run update.php after applying it.
It might solve other issues with CCK tokens as well, feel free to try.
