My Groups contextual filter in Views

Posted by jforena on December 18, 2012 at 10:42pm

I am using Drupal 7 and trying to configure a "My Groups" contextual view. Ideally, it would display a list of the content (titles, post dates, etc.) related to the groups that a user is a member of. The view would be contextual based on a user's id and would list all of the content related to the user's assigned groups.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thx.

Thanks for the response. It's not quite clear to me how taxonomy_access or term_permissions would contribute to generating this view.

it depends...

Hi @jforena,

How you do this in drupal really depends on the underlying architecture of your site. How did you create "Groups"? Was it using the Organic Groups module? If so you should look in the list of contextual filters for anything provided by the Organic Groups module. I've done this a few times so I know it's fairly straightforward, but I don't remember offhand the name of the contextual filter.

I think @Lrrr was suggesting that you could alternatively use the taxonomy access control or term permissions modules to create "groups". If you use one of those modules, they will probably provide the contextual filters allowing you to reduce the set of results to a specific term (or "group").
