We were working with Drupal 7 and trying to rewrite the views output

We need the src of the image field , not the whole image tag.

Clicking on

Rewrite the output of this field

[field_first_image] : Gives the whole content ie with tag ,

We tried to display the below ones

[field_first_image-fid] == Raw fid

[field_first_image-alt] == Raw alt

[field_first_image-title] == Raw title

But the same ( [field_first_image-fid] ) thing is displayed in the view. Is there a way we can get the src from the views rewrite ?

You can get the file name by changing the field as shown in the attached image.

Formatter: Rendered file

View mode: Tokens (or Link will work - depending on what modules you have installed)

Strip HTML tags (checked)

You'd then need to do a Rewrite Output with the server's public file location in front of the token [field_first_image]. That'll get you the full SRC.

There's probably a better way to do this though... Depending on the final thing you're attempting to create.

If you don't want to need to install a module for this, there is a solution.

  • Create a new relationship
  • Select your image field (this will create a relationship to the file entity)
  • Add a field to your view
  • Select File: Path
  • Check Display download path instead of file storage URI

Note that this will create a URL to the original image, not to an image produced when applying an image style (like cropping, resizing etc.) so this may not work in every scenario.

Image URL Formatter

This module add a url formatter for image field. Then you can output image url directly.

One possibility is to create a custom field formatter for the image field and use this formatter in the set-up of the view.

In your case, the custom image field formatter shall only return the source of the src of the image.

You can use this great tutorial to create a custom field formatter : http://www.computerminds.co.uk/articles/creating-new-field-formatters-drupal-7
