Simple demo of Tokens showing a Content-Item

The following demo shows the most common use case - a template for a single content-items which the editor added to the module himself

Simple demo of Tokens showing a Content-Items with Presentation

The presentation-information (in the edit dialog at the bottom, usually half-hidden) gives the editor the ability to change the visual appearence of the content-item. There are a few reasons to keep it separate from the main content-item, but the most important one is that if we re-use the content-item (like an address shown as text in one place and as a Google-Map elsewhere) then the presentation-settings are completely different in both cases. So the presentation is specific to one content-item in one output.

So you'll notice that the Content:PresentationColor-token is in the Style.

Introduction to the Tokens Tutorial

This tutorial should show you all kinds of things you can do with tokens.

Standard DNN/DotNetNuke Tokens

The following tokens are common DNN/DotNetNuke tokens which should work everywhere tokens are in use. Some very common extensions are in the other view Extended Tokens.

Note that according to the DNN-Source-Code there are a total of 11 sources (status 2015-05-05). They are:

1. Date (missing above)
2. DateTime
3. Ticks
4. Culture (missing)
5. Portal
6. Tab
7. Host (missing)
8. Module
9. User
10. Membership
11. Profile

Extended Standard Tokens

The following tokens are still very "normal" but not part of the common DNN tokens. They work in 2sxc - but not in many DNN-Tools

App Tokens

The following tokens are related to App-Information and Resources. DNN/DotNetNuke does have these, you can only access them when in a 2sxc-App.
