How can I show the field label when using tokens in Global field in Views.

To reproduce:

In a view:

1) Add field: title-field and enable to "Create a label" with value "My title".

2) Add field: Global Custom Text. In this field I use the token [title_field] for the text.

In the result the label is not shown. The token just print out the value but not the label. Even when I checked "Create a label" with value "My title" for the title-field

Can I get this? I know that this can be done with the views_php module but, I don't want to enable this module just to workaround this.

  • with views_php I can use t() to create translatable labels. But I've read that this module adversely affects the performance of the site.

A workaround would be to just create your own label by typing it in.

ex 1: Title: [title_field]

ex 2: <b>Title:</b> <br>[title_field]

  • This wouldn't work to translate labels if you have multilingual site.

  • @usmanjutt84 indeed, if you're concerned about that, you would use a template file and put the label inside the t() function.
