We are using DNN version 07.03.02 (109) and have installed the Action Form, Action Grid and MyTokens modules. We created a page with a form and the form has a button with a redirect url to another company website. The url has user tokens in the path including [User:UserName], [User:Firstname], [User:Lastname] and [User:Email]. The button works correctly for each user logged in replacing the tokens with the user values and redirects the user to the site and automatically logs the user into the site. 

Problem: The customer does not want the link to be a button in the form. They want the link to be part of the menu structure. We copied the url from the button and pasted it into the Link URL under Page Settings. Using this method we cannot get the url to replace the tokens in the path. We tried to do this using custom tokens with the same result. We checked the settings for enabling and disabling tokens but only see a setting at the module level. 

Question:  Is there a setting that enables/disables the tokens for the Link under Page Management/Page Settings? If not how can we get the link to use tokens in the menu without having to create customized menus?

I think that this is a question that can be answered much better by DNNSharp's support people.

MyTokens has extensive documentation that tells where you can place tokens and how to tokenize vrious parts of DNN.

The reason I did not go to DNN Sharp was because the tokens were core DNN Tokens used in Page Settings. I will contact them for help. Thank you for the reply.

Link Url in Page settings does not perform TokenReplace, you'll need to use a different option for your redirect, sorry.
