With a list of placeholders and a way to retrieve the values for those placeholders we can now bring it all together and use the token_replace() function to locate placeholders in a string of text and replace them with their dynamically generated counterparts. We'll use token_replace() to process the $message variable displayed on nodes by the databasics module so that we can use our new tokens. Then we'll look at passing contextual data like the current $node to the token_replace() function so the code that does the actual value calculation can have all the information it needs to do so.
The token_replace() function will take a string of text like the following: "Welcome, [current-user:name]", and perform the replacement of the token with it's value resulting in something like "Welcome, Joe".

Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
