Get the src of the image field in a view in drupal

Question

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 ?

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.

To get the uri of the file just don't check the `Display download path instead of file storage URI`. – yunzen Jul 15 '14 at 14:50
If you wan't internal link (public://), you have to uncheck it. If you want the full path, you need to check on this option.. So it's a correct! This worked for me! – Finduilas May 11 '17 at 13:23

Image URL Formatter

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

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.

I don't really know whether this is right answer for I don't play with Drupal now adays. If your answer is right I can mark it as yes. So for that I will wait for some one to vote for the answer. If anyone gets a vote I will surely mark it as right. So I/you don't write something wrong. Hope that makes sense. Thank you once again for the answer. – Hari K T Dec 01 '12 at 13:56

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
