[consulting] how to create token and use them in form text area

[Sam Tresler]

Are you making your own form?

If so, just run the text in question through token_replace($text, 'global', $object); in the form_submit function.  I believe those are all default tokens so I don't think you need an $object, but you might need to pass the $user object.  I'm not sure.  Also, 'global' may need to be 'user' depending on your use case.

   You don't need to use token_get_list unless you need to modify the replacement text that you get back from token_replace().

Regards,
   Sam
