Screenshot of Global: Custom Text showing text format and token checkbox.

The Views Custom Text Booster module gives new options for the Global: Custom Text field included in Views, namely the application of text formats and token replacement.

What does this module do?

The field plain text area is replaced with a "text-format-enabled version of a textarea" ( Drupal FormAPI text_format ). This means that individual text formats (and associated filters) can be applied to the contents of the given text.

In addition a checkbox allows token replacement to be enabled. If the View is Node based, the current row node is passed as context for token replacement.

How to use the module?

  • Enable as per normal Drupal module installation.
  • Create a view
  • Add a "Global: Custom Text" field to the view.
  • In the configuration dialog of the field, you may now use the features of this module.
