Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.What I want to do :
A list of users with their nodes list
something like this :
User1 : name
user1's_node_a
user1's_node_b
user1's_node_c
user1's_node_d
User 2 : name
user2's_node_a
user2's_node_b
user2's_node_c
user2's_node_d
etc...
I wanna do that with any node type and not only content profile or profile categories. Of course, I did try with a user view type.
I also tried to add a relationship : Author nodes (Relate nodes to the user who created it. This relationship will create one record for every node created by the user.)
And I end up with duplicates user records instead of One User - multiple nodes
If someone could tell me what is wrong in my approach ??

merlinofchaos commentedThere's no real way to do this with one single view. You might do well using the views_field_view module to embed a node view inside a user view. That could run a lot of queries, of course, so caching might be advised, but that's really the best choice.

gregoiresan commentedI have tried to embed a view from a viewfield, the problem I have in this case is Argument.
In a node view, the viewfield catch the argument from the node (author:uid, node:uid, ...etc). But in that case, I need each row to send an argument to the attached viewfield, which first, as you said, make tones of queries and second, is clearly a head breaker because relationship doesn't seem to be working as argument for the row.
So, I don't really see how I can do that ? May be I am not doing this the right way.
Attached is the following view:
Field 1: User Name
'relationship': Node > Content profile (where the viewfield is attached)
Field 2: Picture 1 in Content Profile (I can see it, no problem).
Field 3: Viewfield (empty)
View is attached

Can you please provide a full export? The configuration is truncated.
Comment #4
gregoiresan commentedActually, it seems to be the full view... Regarding your comment, I have either a bug or a I made a big mistake in the configuration... :-o
Comment #5
dawehnerAh what you pasted is the "subview"? If yes you misses the arguments :)
If you pasted the mainview you don't have a views_field_view :)
Comment #6
solide-echt commentedI guess I hit the same wall. It's probably my stupid mistake or I'm having issues with Views3 but after trying more than an hour I humbly ask your assistance.
I want a view on users that list a sample of every users photography portfolio. I've made a base node view 'portfolio' that lists 3 photos based on the username as argument. The top view is equally easy: a user view 'userportfolios' that displays username and (should...) embed the base view.
However, no portfolio is shown. I've tried declaring a relation to author node, but alas.
What are we doing wrong?
Comment #7
dawehnerI guess the problem is this
The parent view links to the user. So perhaps if you disable this, it should work.
Comment #8
solide-echt commentedYes, that dit it.
Thanks for your help!
Comment #9
dawehnerCool thanks!
