Question

I’ve got a Drupal site which uses a custom field for a certain type of node (person_id) which corresponds to a particular user. I want to create a view so that when logged in, a user can see a list of nodes ‘tagged’ with their person_id. I’ve got the view working fine, with a url of my-library/username but replacing username with a different username shows a list of all nodes tagged with that user. What I want to do is stop users changing the URL and seeing other users’ tagged nodes. How can I do this? Is there somewhere where I can dictate that the only valid argument for this page is the one that corresponds with the current logged in user’s username?

Answer 1

I’m not sure how you have setup your view, which gives some different options to solve this. A way that should work would be to set the default argument be the logged users id/username and remove the argument from the url.

Alternatively you could create your own filter which requires some work with the views API, but gives more control.
