The idea behind this module is to allow Drupal admins to easily concatenate fields and display them without having to create/modify template files, and without creating new tables to hold "real" field data.

Currently, this module only operates on fields within content types.
I will be adding a mechanism for working with ALL fields in subsequent versions

While this module is vaguely similar to a couple other modules (e.g. computed field and concat field) ... one major difference is in the way Field Concat Display stores it's data; since it doesn't actually create "real" fields, it does not add new field_data_field tables to drupal's database.

  • Create pseudo fields by concatenating 2 or more fields within a content type without adding new tables/creating real fields.
  • Gives the user the ability to add prefixes and suffixes to base fields before concatenation occurs, and also allows those prefixes to be changed easily.
  • Users may also change the weighting of the base fields so they are displayed in a custom order.
  • Allows creation of multiple concatenated fields within multiple content types.
  • Pseudo-field data is stored in the {variable} table.
  • Pseudo-fields are visible on both the "manage fields" and "manage display" tabs under structure/content type.
