I know this has been brought up before... but either i haven't found the 'right' post, or i think there may be a better answer and would like to raise the question again.

I'm trying to use Tracker 2 (or even core Tracker) with Views... Hopefully using Views to hide the "admin" pages and posts.

I like the tabbed "recent posts/My recent posts" format, but when using Views i am recieving the errors like here: http://drupal.org/node/404742

Reading this article: http://www.whydrupal.com/blog/1/311007/custom-site-wide-and-user-profile... - the writer is under the impression that keeping the formats just how they are, Views will "over-right Drupal's default tracker"... keeping the best of both worlds. This sounds good, but obviously doesn't work.

Since i haven't seen more on this issue - it would appear this has been solved, but im not quite sure.

You should either disable tracker.module or disable the tracker view.

So this should help you or?

Well i liked how Tracker had the tabbed "all issues/my issues"... i just wanted Views to filter out any admin created content.

I ended up not using the Views tracker, but instead creating another user account and using it as the content author instead of Admin. Wasn't what i was really after, but it works.

Sorry, the writer is unfortunately wrong, you can't get the best of both worlds because of the way the UID for my recent posts is found is a technique Views is unable to support.

Can you have tracker2 AND View_tracker working? If not can you create a view for Tracker2? I cannot seem to figure out if they are compatible.
