Description of the need
I wanted to select the site logo as the default image inside the Metatag module using a token. [site:logo] is not there and it seems like this would be helpful, possibly in other places as well.
Proposed solution
I found two issues in Drupal for this problem.
Drupal 7 - Add site logo token
Drupal 8 - Add a token for the site logo
A site logo token can be created with a small change to system.tokens.inc
Alternatives that have been considered
I did make a small custom module that accomplished this task.
Additional information
- without the change
- edit Post content type, go to manage fields, edit Body
- click "Browse available tokens" link underneath Help text, to open Available tokens popup
verify no site logo tokens in the Site information list
with the change a [site:logo] token will be under the Site information when browsing available tokens.
Draft of feature description for Press Release (1 paragraph at most)
Backdrop now includes...a site-wide global token for the site logo. This allows for setting a global default image.
