get file path of image style as replacement patterns in views
You can get file path of image style in view.tpl

Example:

/**
 * field with image: "field_image"
 * uri:  (image from field_image) File: Path
 */

$style_name = $view-&gt;field['field_image']-&gt;options['settings']['image_style'];
$thumb_path = image_style_url($style_name, $uri);


I didn't wrote how to get $uri because it depends on type of template file. The general idea is to get a file path of image style by using image_style_url($style_name, $uri) in view.tpl file.
