This is a drupal question asked by margaridacarvalho on 09 April 2009

I have a view showing images and cck fields. I would like to have a field that outputs a link specifying a url to a file, but it would be different for every item in my view. So i thought to add a global field (custom text), output this field as a link and in link path I would use a replacement pattern such as [field_filename_fid]. What happens is that it outputs a link but it goes to an 404 page not found error page. What am I doing wrong?Did i misunderstood the replacement patterns function?
