filter based on user reference

Question

I have a content type "book" that has an entity reference field that references users and pulls in a name. Users also has fields for a picture and an author website.

I would like to add a block at the bottom of each book node that shows the author picture and website.

What is the correct way to set up the relatioknship and filter when there is no user ID in the URL?

Answer 1

1. Set up the relationship. Under the Relationships section click + to add a relationship.

   • Under "Add relationships" you will see all fields listed.
   • Drop down the Groups menu and select "Content".
   • Locate your node reference field, for example 'Content: Reference user (field_reference_user)'. Check the box to the left of it.
   • Click the Add button.
   • Check the box labeled 'Require this relationship', and click the Update button.

2. Add a Contextual filter for Node ID. Set the default value -> get ID from URL

3. Add a field. Click + next to Fields. Under Groups, select Node, and choose Node: Title. Under Relationship, select your node reference field, e.g., Reference user, click Update.

Create a view on a node reference field will explain you in detail
