Overriding Page Title with Contextual Links

Question

View Path: team/member/% Contextual Input: Numeric User ID, single variable

The purpose of my view is to 1) use Views Responsive Grid to layout the page appropriately, which I have done, and 2) leverage the power of views to include future content / fields / etc. After I finished building everything and themed it the way I wanted, I found that the page title was blank.

My question: Is there a way to override the page title before the HTML is processed for this Views path? Ideally, I would like the title to be: "[first name] [last name] | Site Name" The user's separated first and last names are available as fields.

I appreciate everyone's help with this! (view the bottom image in a new tab, it's pretty wide)

Answer 1

It can be done by placing the following code in your theme's template.php file (please note that my fields were named field_last_name and field_first_name, and my view was a page display with the view name 'user_stuff' - so please adjust your accordingly - you can inspect your values by installing devel and uncommenting the dpm statement).

function MYTHEME_views_pre_render(&$view){
  //dpm($view);
  if ($view->name == 'user_stuff' && $view->current_display == "page" && $view->total_rows > 0) {
    $first_name = $view->result[0]->field_field_first_name[0]['rendered']['#markup'];
    $last_name = $view->result[0]->field_field_last_name[0]['rendered']['#markup'];
    $site_name = variable_get('site_name', 'My Site Name');
    $view->build_info['title'] = "$first_name $last_name | $site_name";
  }
}

There is also no need for the pager and you should rather set your view to display 1 item only. Also note that you are outputting the rendered markup (as opposed to the raw value) so there is no need to sanitise the values.
