Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The Link to Taxonomy term field outputs a link to the term. However, you cannot configure it to output the url as a string - only as an <a> tag. This prevents you from doing other manipulations on the string in the views UI.

mortona2k commentedTo elaborate further - you can't use replacement patterns in the text to display config. Adding that here would be a great improvement.
Another way I might want to use this field is to get the raw url so I can use it elsewhere. For example, I want to add an anchor link to the url that comes from another field on the node. If I could get the url as a string, it would be easy to modify the output and add the anchor.

lendudeI think #2810097: Allow views to provide the canonical entity URL of all entities, not just nodes. covers what you are looking for?

jwilson3This page comes up first when searching using keywords "drupal 7 views taxonomy term link".
Once I started searching with the word "path" instead of "link" I found this module.

Leaving this here for anyone else coming here from Google, searching for a Drupal 7 solution. HTH.
