I have a feature request. I have been building a view that features randomization of node titles. It works great inserting tokens into a Rule.

However, Views doesn't allow output without html. So, for example, I created a block with a random title. Inserted the token into a Rule and bam, the thing works.

But the output also includes the block template as well. Views can only reduce the html so much. Even with a custom template hacked to the bare minimum.

I am thinking this:

[views:embed:view-name:display-id:arg1/arg2/arg3]

Could be:

[views:embed:view-name:display-id:node:title:arg1/arg2/arg3]

As an example anyway. The ability to pull in just the fields and bypass the full output.

Does that make sense? Also, I may be entirely out to lunch on this request and there may be a simpler and easier way to accomplish what I am trying to do.

Cleaning up old issues! Sorry, I have no idea how to do that.

Why don't you just output only the field you need in the view you're embedding?
