I am working on a view for a list of course which outputs course names, numbers and days. I have a set of values for days (i.e Monday, Tuesday,..) and I have grouped them so that they show in one table cell (DAYS). I would like to trim them so that instead of Monday they would appear as MON. When I enable trimming, it works fine on one item, but those that are grouped (a row with more than one day ex. Monday Tuesday) it doesn't output anything. It looks like a bug to me.

Cheers

Here's the Views Code with 2 instances of the desired values. first on is normal and the second one is trimed:

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'fullcourses';
$view->description = 'Courses page';
$view->tag = 'fullcourses';
$view->view_php = '';

$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(

Actually, it's not really a bug. As far as Views is concerned, all of the items together are one field.

However, in the dev version of Views just yesterday I checked in a feature that will allow multiple items to use that kind of feature. However, it will require modules that use that particular style to update their objects, and I doubt CCK is updated yet, and I'm not sure when they even will.

Thanks Merlin, do you think I should open and issue on CCK requesting for the particular styling of objects which you mentioned? (I don't know the details though)
