One problem with the views filter I've had is that when you limit it by uid, and you try to edit someone else's content as admin, the nodereference is no longer available, because you are not the original user. Has anyone found a reliable way to filter by current user OR admin? I was unsuccessful last time I tried using views_or to try to do this.

I actually ended up doing exactly that on a project a while back. The trick is to use a custom argument default plugin. In my case I had a nodereference field that should point to "nodes owned by the current user (plus other restrictions)" on create, but "nodes owned by the owner of this node (plus those same restrictions)" on edit. The plugin itself is really really simple: class webb_plugin_argument_default_owner_or_user extends views_plugin_argument_default { function argument_form(&$form, &$form_state) { } function get_argument() { $node = menu_get_object('node'); if ($node && $node->type == 'note') { return $node->uid; } else { return $GLOBALS['user']->uid; } } } The corresponding views definition hook is left as an exercise for the reader. Then add an argument to a view to filter by uid (or a userreference, or whatever), and then set the default argument plugin to this plugin. When called from a userreference field it will get no argument, and therefore use the logic above to fill in that argument. --Larry Garfield On Monday, September 06, 2010 08:04:00 am E.J.

Good morning,

I was able to setup the filter properly, but you have raised an interesting point.

Should the filter then be all nodes with the uid of the current user on create, and all nodes with the same uid as the referencing node on edit?

menu_get_object() ought to do it. On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 12:02 PM, Earl Miles <merlin@logrus.com> wrote:

Assuming the nodereference filter can receive the nid of the node being edited as an argument (that's the part I'm unclear on, but you can't do this if you can't somehow get the node) then you need some PHP argument code that attempts to load the node. If lot loads, return $node->uid; if not, return $GLOBALS['user']->uid.
