I have added an image field in the Views and I would like to output just the url image path instead of the whole image tag. I wonder how to do this. In Drupal there's a module called "Image URL Formatter", but it seems not yet ported to backdrop yet. Is there a simpler way of doing so just with Views without additional module ? I would like to form my own image tag.

Accepted answer

A quick update. Image URL Formatter already ported to Backdrop ! Thanks @Graham-72 !

  • Add a relationship "File Usage: File".
  • Add a field "File: Path", and enable the option "Display download path instead of file storage URI".

I guess it's possible instead of Image field to use File field.

File field has a Display Format "URL to File".

Thanks for the suggestion @amilenkov. But I think I still prefer to use the image field instead of File field.

Thanks @docwilmot ! I have converted though there's an error message prompted but it works well so far. I wish this Image URL Formatter module can be ported properly by the community and made available to others soon. Anyway, thanks !

it's also possible , not installing anything more , just hiding the image field in views and using the - global text field selecting the right token for the image..
