Hello,

Let's assume I have a bunch of users, I want each of them to have a page listing his own articles.

The easy way is a view where:

(author) User: Name (= name-of-the-author)

but then I would need a different view for each author, which is simply insane if I have, say, 300+ authors.

I think a better way would be something like:

(author) User : Name (= current-node-owner)

so I could use the same view for all my authors.

Fine, but how to make this with views? (views 3.0, running on D7).
Any ideas, or better solutions?

Thanks a lot.

1. Add new relationship to "Author"
2. Add new Contextual filter - "User:ID"
3. In the "User:ID" contextual filter's settings, select "Provide default value " > "User ID from URL" > "Also look for a node and use the node author"
4. Save.

You won't see any result in live preview then. Enter a UID (author's user ID) manually or put the block. it will take author's UID automatically and show nodes from that UID.

What's new and changing in PHP 8.4
