I have a node that people can flag to indicate their attendance/interest in that node's activity. However, I would like to show a list of users who have flagged a given node on that node's page. While I can find a way to show a user's current flag state or a flag count for that node in a view, I can't find a way to do this for the node representation itself.

You can relatively easy do that by adding a views contextual filter for the node id (nid) with the following configuration:
When the filter value is NOT in the URL:
Provide default value -> Content ID From URLWhen the filter value is IN the URL or a default is provided:
Specify validation criteria ->Your CTs listFilter value format:
Node IDThe flag relationship used should be:
by any user
Of course you can use that view as a block and place it wherever you like.

How do I get that view/block to show up at a certain entity view? I can't manage to find that. Or will I have to make a desperate template for that node type?– Erik SDec 21, 2015 at 2:34

From an overview of all these node types, if you click on one, it takes you to a view of that particular node. On that page, I would want to show this list of users. Should I change what the overview page links to, and create a view for a single node? Or can I add this view (with the list of flagged users) to a node's display page?– Erik SDec 21, 2015 at 10:28

1Yes, you can add this View/block to a node's display page. By creating the View's block, that block will be available at the block's list of Drupal (admin/structure/block) from there you can place it to any region (you may very well be [create your own region] (drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/129/…) any where in the node's display page) .Lastly from the block's settings you may set any path(s) that this block could appear as well as permissions settings.– mcharDec 21, 2015 at 11:19

Ah, great, that's something I hadn't figured out yet. Now I just need to figure out how to get the view working, so far no users are showing up... Will come back later once I have time.– Erik SDec 24, 2015 at 12:09
As said by mchar, it can be done easily using views.
1) Create a view by selecting your content type.
2) Under Relationships in Advanced tab, select Flags (flag name) by any user and (flag)Flags:user
3) In fields tab, Add user name field and Flag user as relationship.
Hope it will work for you.

Ok, then maybe my actual confusion is different. From an overview of all these node types, if you click on one, it takes you to a view of that particular node.
