%1 output as [title] instead of [nid] in fields setting "Output this field as a link" of Views

My bad...just correct to the right version.

@ merlinofchaos:

Thanks for the quick response. But I have to open again since your suggestion didn't work and I need support again.

This view was embedded in the "video collection" only. I did use your suggestion in Link path: node/%1/[nid] to bring out the "video" node ID as [nid] in the second argument output. But I can not use the same trick to bring out the "video collection" node ID since it was injected to the view by the following Argument setting.

Search: Links from ; Action to take if argument is not present: Provide default argument --> Node ID from URL

I think I still need a way to printing the raw argument instead of the title version of the argument.

Attached please also find my whole idea for the view since I can find any module for this. The view we discussed here was in the lower block. The other view in the upper block uses the second argument of the output link from the the view we discussed here to display the selected video. This also related my other feature request of Panel in #471228: Is that possible to make $links from a node as a different content when doing node override???.

It's still amazing though I can use View to do such a thing. So close............................

Thanks in advance.

@ merlinofchaos:

I still can not figure out how to solve my problem since %1 prints the title version of the argument, not the raw argument.

Is it possible that there needs to be a method of printing the raw argument in the near future???

Thanks in advance!

@agentrickard

Thanks for your response, even I can not fully understand nor help in the long term solution you suggested.

However, My view was embedded in the "video collection" only as mentioned above. I did use your suggestion in Link path: node/%1/[nid] to bring out the "video" node ID as [nid] in the second argument output. But I can not put any hidden field to bring out the "video collection" node ID since it was injected to the view by the following Argument setting.
Search: Links from ; Action to take if argument is not present: Provide default argument --> Node ID from URL

Will you kindly show me how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll checking it.

I just follow your suggestion and create the TPL file of views-view-field--my_view_name--field-image-fid.tpl.php since I just want to replace the %1 from the title version of the argument to the raw argument.
That is
Find title version of the argument --> $node->title
Replace with the raw argument --> arg(1)

The code in views-view-field--my_view_name--field-image-fid.tpl.php is listed below

<?php
$output = str_replace($node->title, arg(1), $output);
print $output;
?>

However, $node->title return 'null' so nothing really changed. What is the correct variable to use which return the node title of the node?

Thanks in advance.

More search then found a modification can do the trick.

Link path: node/%1/[nid] ..............remains

with a views-view-field--my_view_name--field.tpl.php in the theme folder ..... though it's trick to find the right tpl name to use

code inside the views-view-field--my_view_name--field.tpl.php

<?php
$node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));
$output = str_replace('/'.$node->title.'/', '/'.arg(1).'/', $output);
print $output;
?>

The above code will swap the %1 from the title version of the argument into the raw argument.

Thanks for all of you who pass the assistance.

@kenorb

Gee..............I just figured out part the myth behind #5 and #6. :p Indeed, a simple solution is always the best solution. Thanks for reminding.

However, I still can not figure out how to load the parent id as a field as #6 mentioned??? And I had been suffered from this for these weeks. Any suggestion or help?? Thanks in advance.

BTW, in my case I had to put the nodereference field in the Parent node and used "Search: Links from" as the first Argument to find the child nodes in view. I think that's why I can not find the way to put nid of parent node for the hidden field.

@kenorb

Finally, I still take your method in http://drupal.org/node/483036#comment-1682916.

%1 will not only display the title version, once there's any Reserved Characters in HTML in the title it could be worse. It will return Penny%26%23039;s Show for "Penny's Show".

That is:

Link path: node/[arg1]/[nid] ..............replace %1 with [arg1]

with a views-view-field--my_view_name--field.tpl.php in the theme folder with code below to replace [arg1] into arg(1)

<?php
$output = str_replace('%5Barg1%5D', arg(1), $output);
print $output;
?>

Thanks anyway.

@ disandov

Could you provide a more specific scenario?

The appropriate name of tpl.php should be the trickiest part IMHO.

@disandov

Try http://drupal.org/node/483036#comment-1682916.

@disandov

Try "views-view-field--top-video-block--field.tpl.php". Hope this helps..............

@disandov

Yeap, Help text in Views mentioned that The active template for each plugin -- which is the most specific template found on the system -- is highlighted in bold. As far as I know, the theming information in Views will not map your tpl.php in BOLD sometimes. But it really works!!!

Make sure you didn't use the alternative Admin Theme first before you check the Theming information. Otherwise, you'll never find your template highlighted since there's no such template in your alternative Admin Theme folder.

OH..............Great thanks!!!
