I haven't played much with Views2 relationships myself at this time, so I cannot provide you a straight answer, but I think you have to check in that direction; see also http://drupal.org/node/274909 for a similar issue which could be solved that way. Anyway if you find it or anybody else knows I would be interested too in the solution. Hans 2008/12/4 geniekids <ratadi2@gmail.com>

User: Current Filter the view to the currently logged in user.

This setting is supposed to show the nodes created by the user (which is not my case). The user is NOT creating any nodes. This CCK node has one field where somebody is entering one of the user name

Let e explain the scenario. we are a school. so the teacher goes into this cck called kids_observations. She chooses the Kids_name (from a list of users) and enters her observation about that kids. She does it for all the kids in her class.

The kid (as a user) is now supposed to log in - and i want the view to automatically FILTER the observations by his or her (user) name. So the kids_name field should match the currently user.

By using "User: Current" filter i only get the option of getting nodes created by that user. How do i match a user referenced field (in CCK) to match with currently logged in user_name

i used to get this option in drupal5 with views1 can;t locate in Views2 pl help

In D5 i had a view where the filter was set to kids_name = is one of = "currently logged in user"

This meant that when the user logged in - he or she could only see records pertaining to him or her (as the view filtered it matching the kids_name filed with currently logged in user field)

Now i am in Drupal6.6 with Views2 and i can;t find a way to do it. If in filter i select the [content] = "kids_name" - then i only get the list of names to filter by - i do not get the option of filter by currently logged in user.

User: Current Filter the view to the currently logged in user.
