HELP: Two Fields As one

Posted by paulmatunog on June 14, 2012 at 11:48am

Hi everyone,

How can I come up to display two fields as one, or a 'textfield' and a 'select list' displayed as one.

Here's the scenario:

Fields:

Field 1: [integer]
Field 2: [select list: gram, kilogram, pound]

Display/Output field:

Weight: 100 grams

You know, something like that.

So, what I'd like to do is display them as one in a node. I know I can do this using views but I don't like to use views.

Is there a module that combine 2 fields into 1 on display? Not group but combine (add one to another; prefix/suffix).

Hope you guys understand my noobish question.

Thank you and mabuhay.

Theming can do the trick, but the best answer .... 'computed field module' ... Try to explore in Views module not keep on relying node only :)

Create a custom content type
Add 1 textfield for the number
Add 1 dropdown list and supply the values manually. Taxonomy terms would also work.

When the node is submitted then you fudge the output via theming or a preprocess hook.
