Howto pass the uid of a node to a view inside a dynamic display suite field?

Question

I have 1 node of the content type "tourism" and 2 nodes of the content type "tourism news". All 3 nodes belong to the same author (uid 33).

The "tourism" content type has a dynamic display suite field "news" which includes the content pane of a view. This view should displays all "tourism news"-nodes depending on the uid of the requestet "tourism"-node.

When I enter the uid 33 in the preview, the view works as it should:

But when I open the "tourism" node - depending on my configuration - all news or no news are displayed. How do I have to configure the view and the dynamic field to pass the uid to the view?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You are incorrectly setting the 'Argument input' for the Content Pane. It needs to be Node -> Author

Then you need to make sure that you pass the correct argument to it from the Dynamic Field in Display settings for the node. Make sure that you select 'View Panes' and not 'Views'. When you do it will show you the View pane view that you created, and when you select that it will present you with a select list titled: 'Content: Author uid', from which you select the only choice available, which is 'Node being viewed'.

I also do not think that setting the 'When the filter value is not available' in views will have any effect at all. This content pane display is only used for the dynamic field which will always get an argument.
