Navigate the QCDR Tokens Library

The Tokens tab is the administration library for reusable QCDR output. It combines the Token Live Processing control with each Token’s placeholder name, friendly name, output summary, reference count, state, plan requirement, and row actions.

Use the library to manage Tokens; do not treat its drag order as a Rule-style processing priority. Standalone Tokens resolve by the placeholder that appears in eligible rendered output.

Open the Token Library

In Joomla Administrator, open Components > QC Dynamic Replacer > Tokens. The top card shows whether normal Token Live Processing is Enabled or Disabled. Below it, Token Library lists saved Tokens and provides Create Token.

Read a Token Row

Each row shows the literal placeholder, such as {site.company_logo}, its optional description, friendly name, output type/value summary, and the number of references QCDR knows about. A plan-lock badge appears when the current Effective tier cannot run the Token’s complete configuration.

The required tier can come from more than the output type. Nested Token dependencies, extension/audience targeting, schedules, technical conditions, or IP rules can raise it.

Filter and Organize the Library

• All includes every state, including Draft.
• Enabled, Disabled, and Archived provide dedicated filters.
• There is no separate Draft filter in the current library; use All to see Draft Tokens.
• Drag rows, or use the keyboard Up/Down behavior on the drag handle, to organize the administration list.

Token ordering is organizational. It does not create a “first Token wins” runtime sequence like the Rule processing order.

Use Row and Bulk Actions

The state pill changes status, and each row has Edit, Duplicate, and Delete actions. Bulk actions can Enable, Disable, or Move to Draft selected Tokens. Archiving is available as an item state, but it is not a current bulk action.

A duplicate receives a new Token name and is forced to Draft so a copied value does not unexpectedly begin resolving on the live site.

Know What the Reference Count Means

Use the reference count as a warning that a Token is reused. Before renaming, disabling, archiving, or deleting a widely referenced Token, identify the Rules or nested values that depend on it and test the affected pages. Reusable Tokens are intentionally central: one change can alter several frontend locations.
