Question

Currently I have a Drupal installation which has colorbox installed, this allows me to upload a group of images with some text, each entry is its own entity but are all listed on the same page.

I was just wondering if there is a way that I can display a custom link under each views item (entity). Is this possible?

I’m looking for a quick way to simply add a link that links to the first image of the colorbox image slider.

First, set your Format to Show: Fields. To do so, click the link next to Show: (refer to the picture below) and change it to Fields.

If your Format is set to Show: Fields, you can add a new field of type Global: Custom text. Then, in the text box that appears, simply insert your custom link. If you need to pull in the URL dynamically, use a Replacement Pattern (see the list under the text box).

If you need to use another field as a replacement pattern, add it in the same way as you added the Global: Custom text field but make sure to check the Exclude from display checkbox so that it is not shown in your view.
