Filter by current user in a userreference field

This is a CCK question.

Yes, using Views 2 and D6 CCK you can do that. Create a view and add the userreference field to it and you'll see the usernames listed in the view. For even more fun, add a relationship to the view and indicate you want the relationship to be the userreference field, then add any user field you want and you'll see a drop-down asking you if you want to get user info from the relationship. Say yes and you can see anything about that user you want to see.

Forgot to change status.

Oops, now that I answered a bunch of questions you didn't ask, I am thinking maybe you are asking if there is a filter that will show only the current user's information.

That process is similar. Add the userreference relationship to the view. Add filter to the view for User: Active user. Then choose that the active user should come from the relationship.

Thanks for the tip KarenS!

In case someone is following this, In #5 filter should be User:Current which is "Filter the view to the currently logged in user". User:Active is something else "Whether a user is active or blocked".

Works great.

thanks

Thanks borgo - was going a bit mental there...

THE ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE: a combination of #5 & #8.

Tank's "KarenS".... Good Bless you!!!

Thanks for posting this. I was really breaking my head around the userreference and views to limit the user access. Thank you @karen.

Just wanted to add my thanks. I've been wanting to do this for years, and just found this post. THANK YOU so much Karen
