Hi everyone,

Can anyone help on how to rewrite the output from a field in views to replicate the teaser view inline links? I am using the Content: Comment count as a field and have it currently output as a link using the following:

node/[nid]/#comments

This gives me something like: mysite/node/200/#comments <-- pathauto doesn't correct this for some reason - maybe I need a new replacement in pathauto settings for blog posts? I use the pattern 'blog/[node:title]' for all blog posts.

However, in the teaser view you get a much nicer url like: blog/my-blog-post#comments

And also the links are inline on the teaser with a ul class so the list can be easily styled. My current output is:

<span><a href="/blog/my-second-blog-post">Read more</a></span>
<span><a href="/node/200/#comments">3 comments</a></span>
<span><a href="/comment/reply/200#comment-form">Add new comment</a></span>

Which is pretty impossible to style. They need to be in a list, preferably with the classes node-links and inline-links like on teaser display.

Huge thanks if anyone can help!

Can't you add the path to the fields Content: Path (Path): put it at the top and exclude it from being displayed and then put in [path] in the rewrite.

Thanks, that sounds like a solution, will try later when I get in.

I still need help in outputting my 3 links as a list though, have been googling 'lists inside views', 'inline links in views fields', 'recreating teaser view with fields' etc but no luck so far.

Ok, so I am trying to rewrite the output of a 'read more' link to test the theories. So far I have a list like so after rewriting the results which is nearer but still a bit off the mark:

<a href="/about"><nav class="node-links"><ul><li>Read more</li></ul></nav></a>

I ideally wanted:

<nav class="node-links"><ul><li><a href="/about">Read more</a></li></ul></nav>

Any ideas anyone?

Ok, so stepping it up a bit:

<div class="node-links-wrapper">
<div class="node-links"><a href="/blog/my-second-blog-post">Read more</a></div>
<div class="node-links">3 comments</div>
</div>

Ok so far with one link and then some plain text. The problem with the output I get when I make comment count output as a link [path]/#comments is this:

<a  href="/blog/my-second-blog-post/#comments"></a>
<div class="node-links-wrapper">
<a  href="/blog/my-second-blog-post/#comments"></a>
<div class="node-links">
<a href="/blog/my-second-blog-post/#comments"></a>
<a  href="/blog/my-second-blog-post">Read more</a>
</div>
<div class="node-links">3 comments</div>
</div>

??

Thanks.
