arguments $node->title / $node->name

I put your suggested code in the argument field. It brings an empty line (li-formated) under the message saying that the file has been updated.
Moving the field (weight) beyond other fields of the node brings no solution.

As I already wrote: passing the arguments in clear text works fine. All HTML Filters are disabled.

Checking the data with "contemplate" gives no more information to me. The php-print command ist shown under "$node->field_testview[0]['arguments']" and under "$node->content['field_testview']['field']['items'][0]['#item']['arguments']"

Any more ideas? Do you have experience in passing the node-id as argument to a view?

Thanks for your support!

YIP! :-) Works.

To pass the node->title and the node->name (person who created the node) to the referred view, I use the following php-code as an argument in the view reference field:

if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
  $node = node_load(arg(1));
}
print $node->title; print "/"; print $node->name;

One can change $node->title or $node->name to every field type a node contains (I believe).

(Would be helpful for others to have this in the documentation)

To understand how I use it:
I have a node type "seminars" with which users can describe their seminar content.
A second node type is for "seminar-dates" which has a node reference field to "seminars".
With a view (and filters) visitors can search for seminar-dates and seminar-types. When they use the link to the "seminars"-node, they originally see only the content. With the view reference field in the "seminars"-node (and the arguments above and naturally a "view" for it) they now see a list of dates for the actual seminar WITHIN THE NODE.

I found various forum topics also in the German drupalcenter.de where people were searching for such a solution (without using much programming) - here it is.

Daniel, I have three suggestions for the view reference module:

1) It would be nice to have a switch for the view reference field like:
- users can see and edit field content - OR - apply only default values
I my case I don´t want to give users access to that field while editing the node.
( I know, that could be done with CCK-content-permission. But I have a lot of CCK fields and a lot of user roles. So I don´t want to open the box of pandora and loose the overwiew over the permissions.)
2) The titel of the view within the node is the views name. I would prefer to have the views page titel there.
3) While editing basic field information:to me it looks easier to have the default values for arguments in the group "arguments".

Again - thanks for your support!

I understand your point ref. suggestion 1)
I installed "content permission", gave users the right to view but not to edit a view reference field I defined beforehand for a nodetype. I set the defaults: the view and arguments as php code.
When a user now creates a new node using this node type, the default argument (phpcode) doesn´t get stored, only the default view link.
When having edit rights everthings works fine.
But I don´t want to give users space for php code within content.

Any idea?

I checked the viewfield module - it does exactly what I wanted to have. It already has a switch: "Force default" If checked, the user will not be able to change anything about the view at all. It will not even be shown on the edit node page. The default value will be used instead.

The module is able to send arguments without using php code such as %nid, % author, %visitor ...

I wonder why there are two projects working on the same functions.
