How to create a view that shows content from people a user follows

Posted by chrisg_2010 on November 4, 2012 at 7:35pm

Hi,

I'm trying to build a view which would show the content from people that user X follows.

So, for example I have users X Y Z. User X follows user Y and so user Y's content should show on this page, but Z should not.

I have cloned to "frontpage" view which is a perfect start for me, I just have no idea how to get it to show only content from people that the user follows. I have traulled through the documentation but to no avail.

Any help/ideas much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

How did you configure the "follows" feature? Are you using User Relationships or Flag module? What module versions?

Generally, you will need to add a Views relationship and possibly a contextual filter to find this information.

I created a relationship in User Relationships called Follower(s). So I'd like then to be able to pick out the nodes from the people I follow. I'm just struggling a little working out what I need to filter/argue.

The User Relationships module includes a pre-packaged view called "user_relationships_content". You can find it at the bottom of the Views listing. You will have to enable it to use it. You can copy it if you want to make changes.
