In view I call the field field_store_car_model

settings of this field:

formatter: link result URL is:veyron-164

So far as expected.

But I need this URL: vehicles/veyron-164. Because of this I have to rewrite the link.

I check rewrite result, format is plain text, I write in the field vehicle/[field_store_car_model]

Result here: vehicles/veyron-16.4.

Now I have this punctuation in the URL! where does the decimal point come from? From my vocab because view grabs the term BEFORE pathauto cleans it up.

So how can I get rid of the decimal point? I am sure there is some PHP but WHERE I have to put the PHP code?

Any ideas?

I'm not sure I completely understand your question. But I'm guessing this is what you're looking for.

  • In Views, under FIELDS, click on the name of your field
  • Click on REWRITE RESULTS
  • Enable Output this field as a link
  • In Link path, insert something like vehicles/[field_store_car_model], where [field_store_car_model] is one of the available Replacement patterns.

Hope this helps.

  • Oh, I understand now. Although it's never a good idea to store php in the DB, you could try with the Views PHP module.

  • Another idea. You could add a field to your taxonomy vocab called 'no dot name' into which you would insert 'veyron-164'. Then in views, use that field's replacement pattern in the Rewrite result.

  • *hehe yea this came also to my mind. i wont do it because, i dont like the idea to do work twice. one field for the display name and one field for the internal handling. i try a solution that modifies the data before the view is rendered or something.
