As a preamble, I'm not a PHP programer, just an avid fan of Drupal and the powerful Views module.

I've seen several articles about how to create a block featuring a node author's other content, but I can't seem to get it to work with Views2. I'm not sure how to adapt the instructions to the new views configuration. I've successfully done this on a Drupal 5 site already, but am lost this time around.

The two entries I've found are:

http://drupal.org/node/124248
http://drupal.org/node/174281

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/help/views/example-recent-stories as a basic guide to creating a block that shows some content. Add this fairly simple step:

Add an argument, "User: UID".

Under "Action to take if argument is not present:" select "Provide default argument".
Under "Provide default argument options" Select "User ID from URL". Then check "Also look for a node and use the node author".

Click Update, then Save.

Superb! Thank you so much. I would just like to note though, for anyone else potentially reading this thread, that I had to upgrade to 6.x-2.1 to see these options.

An outstanding module. Thank you.
