Further to the thread about email tokens being enabled in v2.0 for "Send Email to Contact(s)" http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,1395.0.html, I've been looking at what tokens are available for use.

I'd like to use this function to send out automated membership subs reminders (maybe using UpdateMembershipRecord.php) but need to get access to membership fields.

Is it possible to extend the token functionality for a contacts membership records?

Specific fields of interest are (but not limited to):

   civicrm_membership_type.name
   civicrm_membership_type.description
   civicrm_membership_type.minimum_fee
   civicrm_membership_status.name
   civicrm_membership.join_date
   civicrm_membership.start_date
   civicrm_membership.end_date

Using these tokens it would be possible to send an email to the contact and tell them what there current membership is and how much they need to pay to renew it.
I suspect that extending this to events would be useful too.

No problem. Thanks for the update. v2.0 has some great features and looks real good.

not available as of 2.1 and not planned for a future release

a patch to extend the token system and make it all powerful would be gratefully accepted
