Token Block

Provides a block to display token replacements for referenced entities.

Use

• Edit any layout that has an entity as context (e.g. a layout with path node/%, or a layout that has specific contexts such as node or user, or relationships such as "Author of content")
• In the "Add block" dialog, you will see a list of Token blocks that reference the available entities, such as "Tokens for node entities" or "Tokens for user account entities."
• Select the block you want to add to the layout
• In the "Block content" field, type any text and insert tokens in the usual format, for example, [node:title] or [node:author:name]

Please notice that adding inexistent tokens will not create a replacement. For example, if you selected "Tokens for node entities" and then add [user:mail], this token will not be replaced, as it refers to user entities, not the available node entity.

You may use chained tokens such as [node:author:mail].
