Filters as rewrite results link path parameters

Question

I am currently using this approach to link lists view's rows to detail pages in Drupal 8

I would like to pass the entity title of the row to the receiving page and use that to select view blocks having that title.
In this case something like www.mysite.com/VenuePage?Name="Mikes" This argument would then be used to select blocks with Title "Mikes"

Can someone point me in the correct direction? I'm a bit new to Drupal and may be thinking about this incorrectly.

Answer 1

If the entity title of the row is a field on the view you can use the Override the output of this field as a custom link option and then create a link yourself using replacement patterns. So long as the field you are referencing the entity title of is beneath the field you are referencing in the field list.

Answer 2

At the bottom of the Rewrite results fieldset you should see another fieldset called Replacement patterns, in it there will be a list of available patterns (examples from the Files view):

• {{ fid }} ==
• {{ filename }} ==
• {{ filemime }} ==
• {{ filesize }} == File size
• {{ filesize__value }} == Raw value

NOTE: You will only see values from fields above the one you are rewriting. In my example I was rewriting filesize, if I had done mime, then filesize wouldn't be in the list.

For your path, you would have something like /VenuePage?name={{ field_name_of_field }}

If the VenuePage is a view too, then you can add a Contextual filter to it, removing the need for parameters, and then your URL would be:

/VenuePage/{{ field_name_of_field }}
/VenuePage/Mikes
