How do I translate a views field to lowercase and with spaces replaced with dashes but not make it a link? I've got a link that surrounds some code (jquery hexagons). I'd like to be able to just print out the link. 

The solution

Firstly, 2 copies of the 'studio name field'. The second set to 'rewrite as link' with the translations. 

Secondly, 'exclude from display' both fields. 

Thirdly. Custom text to print out the hexagon. 

&lt;div class="comb studio-comb"&gt;
&lt;div class="front-content"&gt;
    &lt;a href="/studio/[field_studio_name_1]"&gt;
        &lt;h2&gt;[field_studio_name]&lt;/h2&gt;
        &lt;hr class="break"&gt;
        [field_studio_address]
    &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="back-content"&gt;
      &lt;a href="/studio/[field_studio_name_1]"&gt;
        &lt;h2&gt;[field_studio_name]&lt;/h2&gt;
        &lt;hr class="break"&gt;
        [field_studio_address]
    &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;




If I use the 'rewrite as link' replacement then I get 

 &lt;a href="/studio/&lt;a href=... &gt;"&gt;  


If I use the raw version I am stuck with

&lt;a href="/studio/My Studio"&gt;  


Here is a fiddle with a views export that demonstrates the problem.
You want link all output with studio/my-studio .First convert My studio to lowercase then rewrite as link  custom text.

Think My studio is [field_studio_name_1] .Convert this to lowercase. Then rewrite as link custom text like this .
