I am desperate, and need urgent help on this issue to launch my site. I have been trying to link user created content and uploaded images to the profile of the user for weeks with no results. I am using a view as a pane in Panels to display the specific users photo and general information about the user created in cck. What I cant find or figure out is the argument that will make that happen. Views is a super helpful tool, I just don't know php enough to make it happen. help is needed badly. I have attached a image to show visually what I am struggling with if my explanation was to vague.

You refer to 'the user' in your request, but unfortunately I can't tell who the user is to tell you how to get that information into Views. Is it a user that is being edited? Or is it the user who is currently working? If it's the current user, then the filter 'User: Current' is what you want. If it's some other user, you'll have to find some way to get that data into the view. I'm not familiar enough with what you have to give suggestions on that just yet.

sorry for the long delay, my project hit the fan and I have been working on other critical things. I am back to this point again and I still cant make the argument to work. I want a view showing viewed user's (not viewing user's) created content on thier profile(i am using the views attach module). So like a currently viewed user filter instead of the current user filter.

so on user/1, I want to show user 1's (uid 1) last 10 blog entries, video pages, forum threads, etc, when user 3 (uid 3) is viewing thier profile.
and on user/2, I want to show user 2's (uid 2) last 10 blog entries, etc, etc, when user 3 (uid 3) is viewing thier profile.

if you can help with this argument I would be very grateful.

You don't need PHP for this at all.

Create your view with the User: UID argument. For the 'default' action, set to "Provide default argument". A new fieldset will appear with a radio inside it. Set that to "User ID from URL"

That's it.
