Drupal views get fields after filters without html markup

Question

I have a question about Drupal 7 and Views. Let's assume that I have views where I extract 2 articles ordered by post date. I want to extract only title and trimmed introduction (trim configured in field settings in view)

Now I would like to extract this data programmatically without HTML markup. So the result will be similar to this:

array(
    0 => array(
        'title' => 'Lorem ipsum',
        'introduction' => 'Lorem ipsum dolar solor...'
    ),
    1 => array(
        'title' => 'Lorem ipsum2',
        'introduction' => 'Lorem ipsum2 dolar solor...'
    )
)

Is it possible to extract such information from views? I tried to do something like this:

$view = views_get_view('view_name');
$view->set_display('display_id');
$view->execute();
$data = $view->result;

But $data contain two elements with full nodes (all additional fields that I don't want to grab from database)

In addition for instance introduction is grabbed fully (must be trimmed somewhere in PHP).

Is it possible to do something like this:

$view->applyFilters(); //Like trim etc
$data = $view->getResults(); //return title + trimmed introduction but without HTML markup

Do You have any tips how to solve this problem? Is it possible for instance to pass template that will be rendered (where I could display only raw result without any HTML tags) or something?

Any help would be appreciated:)

Answer 1

After suggestion from AlfredArmstrong I checked plugin style docs. To get filtered data without rendering html template simply do:

 $data = $view->style_plugin->render_fields($view->result);

Under $data will be array of filtered fields from view.

In your fields settings, open "Style settings:

Customize HTMLs, setting them both to -None- .

If that's not enough, Look at the right column. Section Other. Click on Theme information and provide custom tpl.php file for your field.
