Argument to filter View by taxonomy terms on user's profile

Below is what I started. What can I do to get the View to filter by the taxonomy terms on his/her profile?
Thank you in advance!

By default profiles does not have terms. Do you use content profile or similar?

<?php

global $user;

$account = $user;

// 'uprofile' is your profiel content type.
$node = content_profile_load('uprofile', $account->uid)
if ($node && $node->taxonomy) {
foreach($node->taxonomy as $term)
{$terms[] = $term->tid;}
return implode(’+’ , $terms);
} else { return; }
?>

This should do it basically. You see what i changed to your code, these are the important lines.

The interesting thing is that i answered the same question some weeks ago, but i couldn't find it :)

<?php

global $user;

$account = $user;
// the vocabulary id of your specific vocabulary.
$vid = 1;

// 'uprofile' is your profiel content type.
$node = content_profile_load('uprofile', $account->uid)
if ($node && $node->taxonomy) {
  foreach($node->taxonomy as $term) {
    if ($term->vid == $vid) {
      $terms[] = $term->tid;
    }
  }
  return implode(’+’ , $terms);
}
else {
  return;
}
?>

<?php

global $user;

$account = $user;
// the vocabulary id of your specific vocabulary.
$vids = array(1, 2, 3);

// 'uprofile' is your profiel content type.
$node = content_profile_load('uprofile', $account->uid)
if ($node && $node->taxonomy) {
  foreach($node->taxonomy as $term) {
    if (in_array($vis, $term->vid)) {
      $terms[] = $term->tid;
    }
  }
  return implode(’+’ , $terms);
}
else {
  return;
}
?>

could you dsm($terms);
Is it actually set?

I had some trouble getting this going, too. For some reason, the explode statement wasn't returning my TIDs as numbers separated by plus symbols, rather there were 0's where the +'s should have been. But then it magically started working after a recoding the implode() syntax? Very odd.

But then I took a closer look and it the cultprit is the single-quote style that is used in the implode() function. For some reason, in all the code block examples above the single-quote is curled. You want to be sure that the single-quote is STRAIGHT. In PHP, a single-quote means "do not evaluate" and it appears that the curly quote will evaluate the string. In my case (and I suspect yours as well), it's adding nothing against nothing and that's why I was getting 0.

dsm() maps to drupal_show_message(), which when used, will show a warning message at to top of the view (and also in the preview which is *VERY* helpful for debugging). So, If I put drupal_show_message('hello'); in my code, I will see "hello" show up at the top of the view in the message box. I used drupal_show_message() quite a bit to discover what was happening.

I hope that clears things up. The corrected and tested code is below:

global $user;
$account = $user;
$node = content_profile_load('your_content_type', $account->uid);

if ($node && $node->taxonomy) {
  foreach($node->taxonomy as $term) {
    $terms[] = $term->tid;
  }
  return  implode('+', $terms);
} else { 
  return; 
}

Thanks for this post

only to complement: the exclude argument must be user id type and with the User ID from URL box checked. and of course the Exclude the argument box checked.

just one more thing!

i use user relationships module...
i'd like to exclude from this view the users who are already friend of the logged user...

how can I?

Any idea how to alter the php code for cck fields?

For example:
Content Node A has a cck taxonomy field with values red, blue, green
User 1 has a cck taxonomy field with a value of red and purple

In views, filter/argument content nodes to only show "red" or "purple" related content nodes when user 1 is logged in. If no one is logged in or there isn't a match don't filter. In this case User 1 and Node A match based on Red.

My use case is exactly the same explained by Bilmar in 4#, but I'm using D7.

Somebody could point me what do I have to change in the code posted in #7 in order to make it work in D7? (apart from changing the curly quotes)

Unfortunately (for me) I don't know PHP, but I guess I should change the content_profile part (using the profile fields available in core or using Profile 2 module) and maybe other elements as well.

I would really appreciate any help (or links to relevant documentation).

For other users in the same situation, please take a look at the solution provided in http://blog.ampli.fi/filtering-a-drupal-7-view-based-on-multiple-user-pr... (works perfectly for me)
