Easy embedding of dynamic content into the text without using a PHP filter

To make this happen, you should either display the content using a php filter or use str_replace() in the preprocess function. You can also make simple text filter which can replace tokens [function:function_name] with the function result:

/**
 * Implements hook_filter_info().
 */
function modulename_filter_info() {
  $filters['token_function'] = array(
    'title' => t('Replace [function:*] to function result'),
    'process callback' => 'mymodule_filter_process',
    'cache' => FALSE,
  );
 
  return $filters;
}
 
/**
 * Filter process callback.
 */
function mymodule_filter_process($text, $filter, $format, $langcode, $cache, $cache_id) {
  $text = preg_replace_callback('/\[function:(.+?)\]/', function ($matches) {
    $token_params = explode(':', $matches[1]);
    $function = 'token_function__' . preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_]/', '', $token_params[0]);
 
    if (function_exists($function)) {
      $arguments = isset($token_params[1]) ? explode(',', $token_params[1]) : array();
      return call_user_func_array($function, $arguments);
    }
 
    return $matches[0];
  }, $text);
 
  return $text;
}

Instructions:

1. Turn on the filter in the settings of the needed format.
2. Write down the function with prefix token_function__, for example:
   

   function token_function__current_date($format = 'r') {
     return date($format);
   }

3. Add into the text a token in the following format [function:FUNCTION_NAME], for example [function:current_date].

Remarks:

You can pass arguments into the function as a third parameter and separate it with commas [function:FUNCTION_NAME:ARG1,ARG2], for example: [function:current_date:d.m.Y].

It is better to create a separate text format for the filter. This format will be used by the administrator exclusively and in specific nodes/blocks only, because the filter turns off caching of the text that passed through the format.
