I see that in views the Rewrite the output of this field option affects all rows. Is there a way, using php or something, to rewrite the output of row #4 only?

Put this code in your theme's template.php file:

function THEME_preprocess_views_view_fields($vars){
  dpm($vars);
  if ($vars['view']->name == "VIEWNAME" && $vars['view']->current_display == "DISPLAY" && $vars['id'] == 4){
    $vars['fields']['title']->content = 'blahblah';
  }
}

Clear the cache.

Replace VIEWNAME, DISPLAY and 4 with your appropriate values.

Then inspect the $vars['fields'] with dpm output and rewrite the output how you want for the field in question. You may use 'raw' value, but remember to sanitize.

  • I'm not familiar with dpm, do I need to install the devel module?

  • Yes you need to install devel. Feb 18, 2015 at 14:41
  • "dpm($vars];" causes my page to go blank and I have devel enabled.

    All the fields are on available in $vars['fields']. If it is not, then add it to the view, or use global $user for user, or load it. Up to you. Feb 19, 2015 at 7:12

Use the view template file and use $id variable. If you are using $id variable then you will get id 4 for row 4.

just thought of a solution using the views php module.

I added a view result counter field and then a php field which I put:

<?php
    if ($row->counter == 4) {
      print 'HELLO THERE!';
    }
    else {
       print $row->title;
    }
?>

After reading the accepted answer to this question What are the downsides of using 'custom' PHP code in blocks, nodes, views-args, etc? which was mentioned by f0ns (see comment below)

The biggest reason being:

If your CMS allows execution of PHP then an attacker who finds a security vulnerability of XSS or privilege escalation can now use your server for enormously malicious things (as part of a DDOS, sending spam, hosting malware, hacking into other sites/databases on the server, hacking into other servers on the network that might be behind firewalls). In addition to making small vulnerabilities more painful, this makes the site a more likely target of attack if its known that it can be used to execute php.

Thus, I decided to go with the answer I accepted, which does not use Views PHP
