The views module allows you to filter on the role of the author. You can also restrict visibility of the view based on user role. See http://drupal.org/project/views Cheers, Bill geniekids wrote:

I added that field as a custom (url) field in Profiles. I made it "hidden" so the user couldn't change it. I simply typed in the url via the Users list. Steve On Jul 21, 2008, at 4:02 PM, geniekids wrote:

I tried that the prob now is that when i access this URL profile field from views - it shows up like a full url (kind of blog/23 etc) rather than faculty's name with hyperlink how do i get that? for in the block i want a list (of names) with hyperlinks pointing to the user blogs Steve Hays wrote:

If I understand your goal, Views will do it. I am using Views 2 under Drupal 6.3, and I can't speak to earlier versions. I am attaching a .pdf of the Views page for my blog list--with the User Type filter open. As you can see, you can select multiple roles and exclude roles in the filtering process. The trick will still be to produce a visually pleasant link to each blog. Steve Hays Ohio University On Jul 21, 2008, at 3:35 PM, geniekids wrote:
