Description
I want to make a complete list of rotor-item content (a list of sponsors in our case). It is possible to include the external link in such a list. It is easy to make a list, but I'm not able to find the "link-URL" in the list of fields in views.

#1
Currently - no. The only field made available to Views is the Image... I'll try and add this feature in the next week.
#2
Will you make it possible to assign the "url-link" to the node-title field?
#3
This is fixed in CVS.
You should find the link field in Views Fields section under 'Content: Rotor Item link'. You can assign this to the title field, by:
1) add the 'Content: Rotor Item link' field to your view
2) add the 'Node: Title' field to your view
3) On the Node: Title field, select the 'Output this field as a link' checkbox
4) in the Link Path textfield that appears, enter '[url]'
You can do the same for any other field too, including the 'Content: Rotor Image field', if you want to make the Rotor Image link through to the appropriate link too.

#5
"Content: Rotor Item image" shows the image correctly when not "Excluded from display".
I want to add the field "Content: Rotor Item image" as an image, first excluded, and next part of a rewrite of another field, but the rewrite field for "Content: Rotor Item image" is "[nid]" and so far I am unable to show this "[nid]" as an image.
How can I accomplish this?
#6
I have fixed this in CVS, where the rotor image field is now available through the
[rotor_item_image]token rather than[nid]and the url is in[rotor_item_url]rather than[url]To achieve what you want, you could either do exactly what you are doing, but set the value to
<a href='[url]>[rotor_item]</a>.Or, even simpler, you could check the 'Output this field as a link' checkbox and simply set the path to
[rotor_item_url]ps. There is no need to include the field twice to access the token.
