Hey,

I've got a view page set up that takes the nid from the URL as an argument to filter all the nodes on the page. The nid comes from a node reference field of the nodes being displayed.

It works when I use it like that eg. (projects/contributors/42).

How can I get it to work by using the Node Title instead of the nid? (projects/contributors/ankabout)

Any ideas would be great thanks.

Oh, are you using the %? How about trying Views -> Arguments -> NID -> Action to take if argument is not present: -> Provide default argument -> Node ID from URL . It pulls the NID even if you have nice URLs enabled. You can also choose title as the argument.

I am using node reference in the view > arguments, but there is no option for getting the title, just a node id from url in the provide arguments section, is there a work around to receive the node title as and argument?

I am trying to get the same exact setup, did you figure out how to accomplish this? When using the title i dont want it to redirect to the NID, but to stay as the title and show all nodes that reference that nodes title.

Looking for the same possibility, must be something in PHP snippets, but since I am not a programmer, I would not know how to do that...

Probably i haven't understood properly but why don't you try to pass the argument on tpl.php?
print views_embed_view("your_view", "your_display", $node->title);

how to use the views argument to receive the title and get the content we need?

Syd Barrett commented

Argument = Node:Title
Display all values;

on node-yourcontent.tpl.php write

print views_embed_view("your_view", "your_display", $node->title);

I created a tiny module to solve this in modern Drupal: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_argument_default_node_title_from_url
