Bug in Auto-generated titles?
generaltao - May 9, 2008 - 15:46
I've made a piece of custom content with the CCK. It has a field in it called service contract number. In my patterns for auto-generating titles one of them is
[field_service_contract_number_0-link]
This only produces "[field_service_contract_number_0-link]" as the title! Why? I can use certain other pieces of node information, but not this one. The database field seems to be called:
field_service_contract_number_value
And accepts a string. Ideas?
Without knowing more about
Without knowing more about your particular set-up, I'd guess that the reason that's not working is that you're asking the title to contain a link, something which is nominally not allowed -- because titles themselves are often links. Try using the token which just prints the number instead of trying to make a link out of it and see if that one works -- then let Drupal make the title a link in many places as it normally does anyway.
Unfortunately...
Sorry, I just posted that after changing it to link in pure desperation. I'm REALLY just trying to display the string itself, which doesn't work. Sighs.
Anybody else get this problem?
Okay, so I just solved this
Okay, so I just solved this by choosing a different alias under a different category. I believe it was under text fields, but why have the alias listed under node references if there is none? Strange...
