Question

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to mix views arguments with static strings?

For example in the path section of a view feed display I need:

/mypath/%.xml

with the “.xml” part being the static string.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I figured it out finally.

Under validation, choose PHP code. Then I entered:

    // strip ".xml" from incoming 
    $new_arg = preg_replace('/\.xml$/', '', $argument ); argument
    $handler->argument = $new_arg;
    return TRUE; //must return something

That works. Now Drupal sends “foo” to the SQL query, even if the incoming argument via the url is “foo.xml”
