Adding View to Content Type already existing to combine fields

Question

I have a content type that is loaded with 1000's of records. These are not shown through any custom view as of right now. I have multiple fields I would like to combine into a single field.

For example:

field_one, field_two, field_three

...combine above into single field:

field_combined

I don't need to do any calculations, I would just like to combine them into one field when the content type page is displayed.

Answer 1

To do what you want, one way is to create a new view, something like this should work I think:

• Create a new view of the content type you wish to include
• Set display format to Table
• Add the fields you want combined to the Fields section
• Arrange them in the order in which you want them displayed
• Under format: Table | Settings, choose which column you want ALL of these fields to appear in and select that for each

This should present a new view with all of those fields in one column, and any other data as you see fit in other columns. You may need to adjust some styling to get them to format properly - for example, text is inline, so to have it appear on a separate line, you will need to wrap it a DIV or something like.
