Custom Tokens for Event Reminders
July 29, 2014, 07:34:58 am
The documentation for Customized (and Custom) Tokens doesn't explain how get the Event ID for an event reminder, in order to insert a custom token based on that event.

Someone asked on the Create Your Own Tokens for Fun and Profit blog post as well, but no answer there.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Furthermore, is it correct that there is no way to preview such a reminder? I would want to check that my custom token is working.

Try going to the scheduled reminders screen http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/scheduleReminders?action=add&reset=1 and looking at the list of tokens there.  I think that the event tokens are only available when in event context.

Not 100% but I don't think there is preview functionality on this. I think that would be a good feature request.

Yes, those are there when in event context. The question is how to access them from hook_civicrm_tokenValues.
