I have a field within a CCK content type that I want to wrap an <A> tag around. I found the following this post which was a lot of help. This is the code I put the in the template.php.

function theme_views_view_table_listings($view, $nodes, $type) {
  $fields = _views_get_fields();

    foreach ($nodes as $node) {

    $row = array();
    $show_href ='';

    foreach ($view->field as $field) {
       if ($fields[$field['id']]['visible'] !== FALSE) {
        switch ($field['field']) {
        case 'field_node_title':
            $cell['data'] .= '<a href="/listings/details/'.$field_node_title. '">';
            $cell['data'] .= views_theme_field('views_handle_field', $field['queryname'], $fields, $field, $node, $view);
            $cell['data'] .= '</a>';
            break;
        			}
          }
        }
            $row[] = $cell;
            $rows[] = $row;
        }
        return theme('table', $header, $rows, array('class' => 'show-table'));
}
?>

The pages starts to render but does not finish. It renders the page title, description and usual blocks but stops there. In the rendered HTML I find empty TBODY tags where the table should be. I am a noob (on day three of working with Drupal) so it's probably a bone head mistakes. Ideas?

Thanks,
Lowell

So I finally gave up on the above function. Since I only wanted to modify one field, I am going to try to override just that field. Here is the sample function that the Views Theme wizard gave me...

function phptemplate_views_handle_field_listings_node_title($fields, $field, $data) {
  $info = $fields[$field['fullname']];

  if ($field['handler'] && function_exists($field['handler'])) {
    return $field['handler']($info, $field, $data->$field['queryname'], $data);
  }

  if ($info['handler'] && is_string($info['handler']) && function_exists($info['handler'])) {
    return $info['handler']($info, $field, $data->$field['queryname'], $data);
  }

  return check_plain($data->$field['queryname']);
}

So I am trying to add to this function but having a little difficulty figuring out what all the variables are and what exactly this function is trying to do. There is no documentation of this in the Views docs. I think the part that has me perplexed is that there are 3 return statements.

I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction. Where, exactly, would I insert my code? Again, I'm a noob. Thanks for the patience.

Thanks.

After some experimentation, I got this code to work. It's been awhile since I've played with PHP. Amazing how much you forget. Thanks!
