On my site a authorized user can create a content type called protocol. This can be saved as either published or unpublished by the user. I want to make a page containing a view called “My protocols” where the current user can go and view all the protocols which they are the author of, published and unpublished.
To do this I created the view “My protocols” with the Views module, which shows the protocols in an unformated list of teasers. I use the filters “Content: Type(=protocol)” and “(author) User:Current(Yes)”. And for page settings I have :
Path:/my-protocols
Menu:Normal: My protocols
Access:Permission | View own unpublished content
I’ve tried varying the Access part with no succes.
And under people>permissions I have set to allow authorized users to: “View own unpublished content” and “Access content overview page” (and other stuff offcourse, but these the ones I taught might be related to my problem with Views)
When I try looking at the “My protocols” view logged in as a authorized user I can’t get it to show unpublished content, and I have checked that this users has created content of the type protocol which is both published and unpublished. But when looking at the page when logged in as an administrator I see both published and unpublished content.
Is it for some reason not possible to do what I want to do? Or have I forgotten something? Or do I need to install some further module to do it?
I think this is because views uses the node_access table to check node access rights, but unpublished nodes are removed from the node_access table. You may try disabling “SQL rewriting” in the “Query settings” of the view, under the “Advanced” section. Not sure if that is the solution though.
