How to get a field value from an "exclude from display" field

Find solution? If yes, how?

Any solution?

I don't get it.
If I exclude a field, its not in $rows anymore.
Also, its not in $view->result array!

Table output style is missing -fields template, instead, it is using:

-field
--table
---view

hierarchy. At any stage I can't access my fields - i.e. raw result.

p.s. I also tried to inject some vars which are probably missed in template, but in template_preprocess_views_view_table I don't get anything new.

Well, I found a kind of solution, but not 100% sure it will work as expected.
The problem with *-table.tpl.php template was that I couldn't find appropriate result set with "excluded" fields.
After digging I've finally found something, it is:

$view->style_plugin->rendered_fields

- an array with _ALL_ fields, including excluded :)

I added shortcut to this in a preprocess:

function THEME_preprocess_views_view_table(&$vars) {
	$vars['raw_result'] = $vars['view']->style_plugin->rendered_fields;
}

and now can access results in *-table.tpl.php like:

foreach ($raw_result as $row) {
  print $row['tid'];
  print $row['title'];
  ...
}

I think this one could benefit from someone with more experience.

I have 2 questions :
- how does it work if the page views display as a other format (no defined format for example) and not as a table format ?
- I'd like to get a field value from an "exclude from display" field in a page-taxonomy-term.tpl.php so I can use this value out of the embedded views. How can I manage this ?

Thank you for your help.

You an almost always find the safely rendered field value in:

$view->style_plugin->rendered_fields[$row_number][$field_id]

for hide a field, which is the code and the right function?
I founded this functions:
hook_views_pre_render
hook_views_pre_view
hook_views_data_alter
hook_views_handlers

but not found a code example;

I want simple first that the view is visualized, hidden a field ;
by code php and not by set the option inner the view: Exclude from display

so not change directly the query but only the visualization of the page;

other hooks founded
hook_views_pre_execute
hook_views_pre_build
hook_views_data
hook_views_plugins
but think solutioin is in one hook of the first list

The solution is in #12.

ok, but how can customize and which function to use?
for example for to hide a field image.

this is the view's code

...
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
  'field_image_cache_fid' => array(
    'label' => 'Image',
    'alter' => array(  .... ),
    'empty' => '',
    'hide_empty' => 0,
    'empty_zero' => 0,
    'link_to_node' => 0,
    'label_type' => 'widget',
    'format' => 'product_list_linked',
    'multiple' => array( 'group' => 1, ....  ),
    'exclude' => 0,
    'id' => 'field_image_cache_fid',
    'table' => 'node_data_field_image_cache',
    'field' => 'field_image_cache_fid',
    'override' => array(  'button' => 'Override', ),
    'relationship' => 'none',
  ),
.............

I had a similar issue: Using a list field named 'field_color' to style my row content. I have used the result array of the view object to solve it:

views-view-fields.tpl.php:

// [...]

if(empty($view->result[$id - 1]->field_field_color) === false)
	$color = $view->result[$id - 1]->field_field_color[0]['raw']['value']; // get field value, which is excluded from display

// [...]

#7 worked great for me, thank you very much!
