Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I'm passing Node: Type fields to a view argument (Node: Type) by generating links with this replacement pattern:
my_node_view/types/[type]
This works fine except when there is a space (and perhaps other odd characters) in the node type. In this case I get a blank view.
Manually entering a link with spaces replaced with %20 doesn't work either.
Curious if I'm missing something obvious or if there is a workaround.

dawehnerThe problem is that [type] is the human readable version, but the argument expects the machine readable version of it. Perhaps there should be type-type and type-name
Comment #2
glennpratt commentedIf I try to patch this, what version are you accepting patches against?
Comment #3
dawehnerUse 2.8 or 3.x i guess the class is the same currently.
Comment #4
glennpratt commentedFirst swing at a patch, adds machine name as an option for the field handler. Feedback would be appreciated.
Comment #5
glennpratt commentedWhoops, botched the patch file name...
Comment #6
merlinofchaos commentedThis looks decent. However, the option needs to be defined in option_definition() or it wont' be saved in 3.x.
Comment #7
dawehnerThe same patch with option_definition
Comment #8
merlinofchaos commentedCommitted to 6.x-2.x and 3.x. Does not seem to apply to 7.x (not terribly surprised).
