This is pretty straight forward. How do I print a link to the homepage as field in Views?

I have added a global text field with html code <a href="/">Home</a> but this is just the path to the root & my website is installed in a subdomain.

Using D7 and latest Views module.

  • Thanks for your effort. Unfortunately, that is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to display a field as a link to frontpage in views (as mentioned in the question above, the "/" href does not take me to the frontpage, it is taking me to root domain).

it should work this way:

  • create the global text field, with the text as the link text -

  • then rewrite the results, and output as a link using <front> as the path -

  • Thank you so much! Didn't know it is that simple. And a very important asset - now I know <front> could be used as a token in Views. Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 21:32
