I am trying to set up a basic way for users to contact an author about a node they created and have the communication be in the form of a node.

What I have done is create a new content type to create the ticket and to add to this content type the url is domain.com/node/add/support. Now in the authors block on each page it is easy enough to change that link to domain.com/node/add/support/username.

I want to pass that username as an argument using nodereference and the advanced Views section but I can find no information about how the views part of node reference works. Can anyone help me so that the username section of the URL is sent as an argument to views so that only that users views are shown in the dropdown.

Thank you.

Hi,
From reading various sources I understand that, at the moment there is no way to use something other then a static value as an argument to pass to views. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I would love some documentation on this very powerful feature.

Some other topics on the texfield to pass arguments:

token support http://drupal.org/node/196518

Thank you for the reply.

Is there any documentation on Node Reference and view arguments so I can at least understand what they do. I can barely find any mention of this anywhere. For example what does "Provide a comma separated list of arguments to pass to the view" mean? I use arguments regularly and I use node reference regularly but have no idea how they work together or what they can do.

Thanks.

Closing old issues. None of us is using the D5 version any more, so hard to provide any support. Sorry.
