Hi,

I'm trying to work out how to embed a view using views_embed_view and for the view to display depending on node reference.

I have this in my template file...

$viewName = 'introduction';
print views_embed_view($viewName,'default');

...which displays fine, but I need to add a contextual filter. The content type 'introduction' is using node reference to associate with the content type I'm trying to embed it on called 'main'. When I try adding a contextual filter with the following nothing shows up:

Content: Referencing Main (field_main_ref)
Appears in: node:introduction.

There is a message when trying to add the contextual filter that reads "This display does not have a source for contextual filters, so no contextual filter value will be available unless you select 'Provide default'." but I'm not quite sure exactly what I need to do.

Could anyone help?

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

I guess you have this kind of code in a node.tpl.php. Why not just use the nid of the node of the node.tpl.php as argument.

So at the end you have something like


print views_embed_view($viewName,'default', $node->nid);
