I am using Drupal 8 and I am creating an internship placement system where students sign up and have a skills field (using taxonomy terms).

Employers can create job postings, which have same skills field.

How do I link matching fields (skills) in a view so that when a student logs in they only see jobs related to their skills?

You need to use views as described below

1. Create a user view (not content view)

2. Add contextual filter user id with default value current logged in user

enter image description here

3. Add relationship on terms referenced from field skills (of user)

enter image description here

4. Add relationship with term from skills

enter image description here

The previous relationship should be autoselected

enter image description here

5. Now you can add content fields to view and the field skills relationship should be autoselected

enter image description here

when a user visits the view page the jobs will be contextually filtered based on their profile selections

  • Thanks for the response. Is there a way that i could show the content instead of field in the Format>show area?

  • This was a user view so there is no content option (only user). You can probably start with a content view and do the reverse relations and come to the same result (and be able to use content as SHOW option) but I still think fields is more flexible.
