How to show another user the goals I completed?

Question

I have a view that shows the goals (created using the Goals module) I've completed. For this I use the view that comes with the Goals module (and which only shows the Goals completed by the current user).

But I'd like that other users could see that view too whenever other users browse my account. So that another user can see which goals I completed (instead of showing the goals completed by that other user).

So I'm looking for help about:

• placing the view.
• making it visible to other users whenever they browse my profile.

Here is an export of a view, which is an improved version of the view that is included with the Goals module (disclosure: I'm its maintainer):

$view = new view();
$view->name = 'goals_completed_by_a_user';
$view->description = 'A block showing goals completed by a user.';
$view->tag = 'Goals';
$view->base_table = 'goals';
$view->human_name = 'Goals Completed by User';
$view->core = 7;
$view->api_version = '3.0';
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */

In this view I've added an extra block named "User's Goals". This extra block has a contextual filter which I configured like so:

• When the filter value is not available: Provide a default value with Type = "Provide raw value from URL" and Path component = "2" (this is what differs from the Views block delivered with the Goals module).
• In the block settings I've adapted the block visibility to only show this block on pages with a path that matches user/* ( i.e. when browsing a user's account, as in your question). And of course I've then enabled this extra block also to display it in an appropriate theme region.

Note: I've also extended the list of fields shown in the block, by also adding the Goal URL (excluded from display) and Goal title, though that is not really relevant to answer the question here.

Answer 2

1. Create a block display for your view.
2. Place the block on your user page in whatever region you want.
3. Ensure it is accessible to all authenticated users.
