Access view exposed filter arguments in field view My problem is that I can't access $view-&gt;filter['my_filter_field'] from my views-view-fields.tpl.php file. 

In views-view.tpl.php I get my correct View object with the arguments sent via AJAX as exposed filter parameters, but how can I get this information without using the field's template file?
You have to use object methods (functions) to get and set exposed filter inputs.

E.g. 

Use $views-&gt;get_input_filter and $views-&gt;set_input_filter($filters).  The format for filters is as follows:

$filters = array(
  'identifier' =&gt; '[your ident name]', 
  'value' =&gt; '[your value']
);
