Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
Sorry, I had notifications turned of so I didn't know you had responded.
Basically, I develop quite a few sites for churches and typically build them a media center for the sermons. I have a field that that is a basic text field where they can enter a scripture reference. Typically I stick this information into some type of sidebar area or side column using panels or blocks. I use views to pull the information per page to do that.
So, when I do this and the scripture reference is in the sidebar the module doesn't convert it to a link for a visitor to click on. I believe this is because the scripture reference is outside the main content area and now inside a sidebar area or panel using views.
I hope I didn't confuse you. Let me know if I did so I can explain in more detail.
Sorry for the delay in coming back to you. Drupal modules are a spare-time activity, and sometimes there isn't much of that!
I really need a simple site that is set up in the way you describe, then I can try to see if I can get the references in the sidebar to turn into links. If it's easy to do, could you describe the series of steps I'd go through from a just-installed plain Drupal 7 site to get such a site set up? Presumably it's just a matter of creating a new content type with certain fields. You could then export the View, and I could import it. If the View then had your Scripture reference in a block, I could add the block to a sidebar region and that would be the test.
Or, could you set up a test site and e-mail me some login credentials for it (you can use my contact form on Drupal.org). Or, even better, create me a simple test site, tar up the files for it, dump out the sql for it, and give me a dropbox link or similar. I can then load up a test site and reload it to start over as often as I want.
Either way, I could get a much clearer picture of what you mean.

jamesoakleyCould you say a little more. How would you want it to work with views?
