contextual filter for a block view with relationship

Question

I defined two content types : Book, Quote. A quote has a Book field, an entity reference to the book it is extracted from.

I want to build a block view to be displayed on each Book node page : all the quotes extracted from that book. In other words, all the quotes whose Book field value matches the NID of the current Book node.

So I defined

• a relationship field_book : Content (Content using field_property_book) ;

• a contextual filter : (field_book : Content) Content : Book set

• to use Relationship = field_book : Content
• When the filter value is NOT available : Provide a default value = Content ID from the URL (I also tried Raw value from URL + element number 2 : node/NID)

The view block displays no results. Obviously, I missed something about configuring a contextual filter for a block view ! Any ideas ? Help to a newbie with relationship greatly appreciated :-) Thanks.

Answer 1

I figured it out: the contextual filter should NOT use the relationship, as the Book field is in the Quote content type!

Finally, this worked: contextual filter (field_book : Content) Content : Book set

• Relationship = Do not use any relationship

• When the filter value is NOT available : Provide a default value = Content ID from the URL
