I've got a column of links to files in a table. They're displayed via file-fields with 'Output this field as a link" enabled in Rewrite Results. It's works great with fx images but width pdf's the table only shows the filename, not the path to it.

Any ideas on how to always show the complete path to a file no matter the file type?

  1. In views Change the Formatter of the field from Generic file to URL to file.
  2. Go to REWRITE RESULTS and check 'Output this field as link' and use replacement pattern of the file field.
  3. check Use absolute path to get absolute path link of the file

That's it you will get complete path of the file instead of file name at output.

  • Thanks, but the URL to File formatter isn't available in my field, only 'rendered file, image, image link formatter'. I've used 'rendered file'.

  • @KristofferRom I think you don't have Entity API module enabled right.I think that might be the problem

  • it is enabled I'm afraid. I've just discovered that the field isn't actually a drupal.org/project/filefield but an imagefield accepting PDFs too. Could that be the issue? If so, any way to convert the fields without loosing all the content in them?
