Hi,

I have been knee deep into the Advanced Profile Kit, Panels & Views over the past few weeks.

I think I have a good enough understanding of how this is working and I have gotten a number of things to work.

My question is related to User Specific Views. It is probably quick and simple, but I am still missing it.

I want to create a View that the Advanced Profile Kit can use to display a block inside of the profile.

I accidentally deleted the About_Me block and I want to recreate this by using views.

I have an About_Me field in the user profile, so I want to create a view that displays this.

So I create a new View, add in the field for Profile: About_Me.

However I only want to display the About_Me for the profile that is being viewed.

So If one user views another users profile, they see the About_me details of the other user, not their own about me.

What argument or relationship do I need to define within the view to display only the requested user about_me.

Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated!

thanks!

No need to make a view. Just click the gear in the "edit content" section of the variant, click "add content", click "node", and click on the field.

Hopefully there will be less confusion once I get the documentation done.

If i need to use a view to truncate the content of the field and add a 'more' link for example how would i do this please - again keeping the information relavent to th user profile not my own.

Many thanks

Hi Michelle,

My theme gets stripped in the profile page now that I have APK installed. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Mike

Just normal Garland. If it's supposed to be some other theme, I have no idea. APK doesn't switch themes.

I came across this post and was wondering if anyone knows the argument to display a user related block inside of the profile with "Views" (need to pull in CiviCRM custom field info).

Edit - this worked for us: http://drupal.org/node/393960
