argument handling code for viewfields ?

I posted a follow in your forum post. Basically, viewfield has some basic token handling. You can use %nid in your viewfield arguments to get the data you want.

Asking questions in this queue is fine. That's what it's here for. :-)

Feel free to reopen this ticket if you need more support.

has passing an argument to a viewfield ever worked?

I cannot get it to work on any view.

argument is [nid]
I see it in the content template but the value is not substituted and thus no view. The view works fine with an argument in the url.

i created a view that takes nid as an argument

I specify
force default
select only one allowed view
specify [nid] as argument

I have token installed.

If I specify an actual number like 100 instead of [nid] the argument is passed and a value is attribted to viewfield. I can see it in content template and in devel module.

If i use [nid], [vargs] = [nid] in devel and devel render. there is no substitution made for [nid].

any help out there?

Chris

I am also having this problem as activelyOUT. If use an actual number I get it to work, but when I look at devel it shows only [vargs] = [nid]. Shouldn't this show [vargs]=24 (or whatever number?

I use token for imce so I know its working.

Any ideas?

Oh... I got it to work... no idea how, it just started to work... I must have been doing something simple and causing it to not work.

check out this post http://drupal.org/node/112871#comment-1049858 he shows all his setting for doing it.

Just to note, devel still shows [vargs] => [nid] so I'm guessing its not supposed to actually show the nid.

I just found this. I hoep this helps you all.

hi. i have been having problems with passing the current node as an argument in a viewfield. The current node is excluded because of recursion issues. I am using D5, but the solution was mentioned in an issue against D6 version of viewfield. It has taken me months to find this. I hope it helps someone else: http://drupal.org/node/165321

This particular comment worked like a charm

This SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE HANDBOOK OR README FOR VIEWFIELD SPECIFICALLY.

Is there a safe way to use viewfiled if you are passing in the nid of the node that you are calling viewfield from? there was a patch for 6, but nothing for 5.

I'm sorry, but there is no maintainer for Viewfield for Drupal 5 and D5 is EOL very soon (with the release of D7).
