I've just committed #163245 which adds token support to the audio module. I use the tokens to build titles and teasers automatically. I'm really impressed with how easy it was and how well it works.
I have only one complaint and it's a minor one. The node's title is built using tokens so I provide a collapsed field set with the results of theme('token_help', 'node'). This works but it lists a lot of tokens that may not be defined for that particular node. I'd love it if I could pass the node into theme_token_help() and have it return a formatted list of the tokens that are defined for that particular node.
ps, want to add audio 5.x-2.x-dev to the list of supported modules? ;)

fagoyep, I agree that this would increase the usability of the tokens a lot. Unfortunately it won't be easy to implement...
ah and you could add workflow-ng too.. :)

drewish commentedfago, there's no better motivator for me than someone saying one of my ideas would be too hard to implement. so here's a patch. i'm sure the token devs will have some better ideas of how to set it up but it's a working prototype.

fagohm yes, but the given node is seldom available on configuration time - so this would be hard to use, or?
I would love to be able to state the used node type, for which then I get the replacements

gregglesI added audio to the list of modules - thanks for the tip.
About this help...I agree with fago in #3 - how often is a $node object actually available?
I think better would be to create your own module specific plain html help information...
Comment #5
fagoCould you add workflow-ng too please?
@topic: That's difficult too.. If the node type changes, the available token changes too..
Comment #6
arhak commentedI would recommend you to start splitting
theme_token_helpinto two separated theme functions like #576592: theme_token_list (split theme_token_help in two) (which is a D6 issue)then, every replacement list that might be needed can be easily themed with
theme_token_listonce the list of tokens gets filteredComment #7

dave reidI don't think this is worth including in the scope of the module. We don't have anything like this in D7 tokens, so I don't think it make sense to add another interface when it would be dropped in D7.
