views and arguments [#99383]

hi:

Disclaimer: I asked at the views bookmarks issues forum but nobody replied and I think this something that can be done with views.

I was checking the views bookmarks module and was wondering how would you show the bookmarks a user has bookmarked on their profile.

I would like an anonymous user to be able to do like this:
Visit Jack's profile and see his bookmarks
Visit John's profile and see his bookmarks

Now It seems that I can only see my own bookmarks while logged in.

It may be possible using views and some arguments but dont know how to set it up.

Thanks for any help.

You've got two choices on doing this.

1) set the url as "user/$arg/bookmarks" which will cause a bookmarks tab to appear on the user's page. In that case, the argument will be a UID and you'll want to set appropriate filters in the view to display bookmarks.

2) Theme the profile page and use theme('view') or views_build_view() to actually embed the bookmarks view right on the profile page. I think there are some examples of doing similar stuff to this on the views snippets page in the drupal.org documentation.
