Linking taxonomy terms in views

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

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

4. Add relationship with term from skills

The previous relationship should be autoselected

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

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