Question

I am using the node id as an argument in a drupal view. However, I want the title of the view to display the title of the node.

For example, I have a node with node-id 36 and title “Hello World”. The views page url is “example.com/display-node/36” (36 being the node-id passed as an argument). I want the title of the page displayed as “Page: Hello World”. How do I do that?

Thanks!

It took me a while to figure out answer one to this question; so here is a more detailed explanation:

1. You must have the PHP Filter module enabled (admin/build/modules).
2. In your page view (admin/build/views/edit/[your view name]) click on header under Basic Settings
3. Place the following in the text box that pops up:

   <?php
   $view = views_get_current_view();
   // [0] is first arg, [1] is second etc.
   //My first argument is a Node:Nid argument to get the node id from the url.
   $node = node_load($view->args[0]);
   drupal_set_title('Page: '. $node->title);
   ?>
   

4. Expand the Input Format section and select PHP Code:
5. Click update and the title should now display properly!
