How to alter single custom field value in views?

Question

I have a view with field Global: Custom Text, which is modified as a link. I want to change replacement tokens for generating this link, dependent on a value of other field.

Tried to modify this in hook_views_pre_render but I can't find a way to do this.

In hook_views_post_render there are two arrays:

$view->style_plugin->render_tokens
$view->style_plugin->row_tokens

which contains generated links for every row, but they are not present in pre_render, and changing them in post_render doesn't work.

I've also tried to do that in template_preprocess_views_view_fields but for that specific view this function does not firing (for other views it does), and I don't know why.

Answer 1

function hook_views_pre_render(&$view) {

  switch ($view->name) {
    case 'YOUR_VIEW_NAME':
      //  override the global custom text field value
      $view->field['nothing']->options['alter']['text'] = 'My custom text';
    break;
  }
}

add nid as field in view and use that field for condition you can add condition as follows: if ($nid == '124') { $view->field['nothing']->options['alter']['text'] = $nid}

Simple way is to create a new field field_waga which will have field_waga_1 as new name if you check in the view and then you can change the label and override that field with your custom value

if($view->result[0]->field_waga[0]['raw']['value'] == '10') {
//here you can create the field to act as custom text field and enter the custom //value
$view->result[0]->field_waga_1[0]['#markup'] = 'alter';
}

As an update to the above answer, I had to set 'alter_text' to TRUE in order for this to work, e.g.:

function hook_views_pre_render(&$view) {

  switch ($view->name) {
    case 'YOUR_VIEW_NAME':
    //  override the global custom text field value
    $view->field['nothing']->options['alter']['text'] = 'My custom text';
    $view->field['nothing']->options['alter']['alter_text'] = TRUE;

    break;
  }
}
