Get the taxonomy term field in Views 3 override title

Question

Is it possible to get a taxonomy term field in the title of a view, using the override title in the contextual filters? I know I can get taxonomy fields using relationships, but is there an argument or something similar that I can use in the override title?

I am asking for Drupal 7.

Answer 1

I just recently solved this problem by hiding display of the default title in views, adding the field "content all: taxonomy term" in views. Then on the "header" section of views add "global:text area" and select the text format "php code". check "use replacement patterns from the first row". You can click on "replacement patterns" to view all of your tokens. In the text area box paste the code: <h1>[term_node_tid]</h1> Your term name should replace the default title.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I was able to solve a very similar issue in which I needed to override the view title with a field from the first result.

I used hook_views_pre_render() to accomplish this in drupal 7.

function tag_views_pre_render(&$view) {
  if( $view->name == 'flex' ){
    if ( count($view->result) ){
      $view->build_info['title'] = $view->result[0]->node_title;
    }
  }
}

the only solution I found (thanks to FatGuyLaughing: http://drupal.org/node/365418#comment-4284154) was the following:

function MYMODULE_views_pre_build(&$view) {
  if ($view->name == 'view_machine_name') {
    if (is_numeric(arg(1)) && arg(1) > 0) {
      $term = taxonomy_term_load(arg(1));
      if ($term) {
        $view->display['default']->handler->options['title'] .= ' - ' . $term->name;
      }
    }
  }
}

If you use contextual filter "Content: Has taxonomy term ID (with depth)" and title overriding, just set "%1" and the title (aka name) of the term is set as title of the view.

Note that this doens´t work with Filter by Field "Content: Vocab XYZ (field_vocab_xyz)". In this case the term ID is set as title.
