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.
