The standard Content list in Drupal 7 (displayed with the Find content menu item) gives me a table of nodes in the system with various attributes, such as the type. I want to add the text type (e.g. Filtered HTML).

How can I do this? Installing the Administration views module has made the table much more configurable, but there seems to be no way to include data from the field_data_body database table, which contains the information. The Table Wizard and Data modules apparently provide this functionality, but are not done for Drupal 7.

Is there a way to do this without coding?

If I have to code it, do you recommend creating a new module (with which I have no experience) or patching up an existing one until it works well enough, and if so, which one?

PS: this can be regarded as a special case of a (frequently asked) related question.

It is possible to do this with Views 3 in Drupal 7:

  1. Add the field you need the format of to the view (E.g. field_body)
  2. In the configuration form for that field tick the 'Rewrite the output of this field' box
  3. Put the '[field_name-format]' token into the box

It will render the raw name of the input format, instead of the value.

  • I can add the field in question to the filter criteria for the view (it's called: Content: Body (body:format)) but I cannot add the same field to the list of fields to be displayed. Why not? – reinierpost Oct 25 '12 at 15:11
  • How do I determine the field_name? – reinierpost Oct 26 '12 at 10:24
  • It works! Turns out I had to add the name [body-format]. Still don't know how I could have determined this other than by reading the code or guessing. – reinierpost Oct 26 '12 at 10:26
  • how exactly do you add [body-format] could you please say it clearly regards. ASDA – user23349 Nov 1 '13 at 10:49
  • I'm sorry, I forgot and apparently I also forgot to document it. – reinierpost May 23 '14 at 9:33

This is the third step when you want to achieve this in Drupal 8: 3. Put the '{{ body__format }}' token into the box.

This is because the token format changed between Drupal 7 & 8.
