Rule Tokens

Take control and Rule your Tokens.

The Rule Tokens module allows (mostly) any token to be passed through a Rule component allowing you to change the output as you and your Rule see fit.

Example: If token is 'node:title' and today is Talk like a pirate day, translate the token value.

3. Add any conditions and actions (Data comparison, Set a data value), making any required changes to the 'Value' parameter.
4. Implement your rule token wherever applicable by appending ":rule_tokens:?" to an existing token, where '?' is the machine name of your Rules component.

   Example: [node:title] with a component named 'rules_demo' would be invoked as [node:title:rule_tokens:rules_demo].
