I am attempting to create some new tokens for use when the the user is creating thank-you notes using the new feature in version 4.2.2 ( ie click "Contributions ... Find Contributions, then choose the action "Thank-you letters for contributions" )

I have been muddling around in the file "CRM/Utils/Token.php"  and  the function getContributionTokenDetails.    The variable $details[$dao->id]['contribution_type_id'] is correctly populated with the contribution type id, even before I changed anything.

I added the section:
$contribTypeId = $details[$dao->id]['contribution_type_id'];
        $contribTypes =   CRM_Contribute_PseudoConstant::contributionType($contribTypeId);
        $details[$dao->id]['contribution_type'];


 But so far, I cannot get the contribution type name to appear in the list of tokens for the user, or get the token to get populated in the thank-you letter.   Any ideas?
