Recipe 52: Views Custom Field

Note

Ingredients

Views Custom Field module:

http://drupal.org/project/views_customfield

Any table, or list view, such as swim_groups (Recipes 3 and 4)

Relatively new and little-known, the Views Custom Field module can be quite handy. Use it to add row numbers, node IDs, special links, or whatever suits your needs. Once the module is installed, simply add the Views Custom Field and enter a label and a value.

1. Install the Views Custom Field module.

2. Clone the swim_groups view, and make the following changes:

   Name	swim_groups_custom
   Access	admin
   URL	swim-groups-custom
   Page View Type	Table View
   Fields fieldset	Add Node: Title Add a Views Custom Field: Text field. Set the Label to ID and the Value to <?php print $data->nid; ?> Click the Move this item to the top icon.

3. Save the View and go to swim-groups-custom. Notice the new Node ID numbers.

   

Recipe notes

• More than one custom field may be included in a single view.

• Views custom fields are certainly not limited...
