Aim

I am working on a Drupal 8 site that has articles which have a 'interests' field, and each User profile has a 'interests' field.

I want to create a view that only shows articles that the currently logged in user is interested in. For example, if the currently logged in user is interested in "Sports" and "Business", the view should show all articles that are tagged as either "Sports" or "Business".

Attempts

I presume that the solution will involve using Relationships and Contextful Filters. I have read about both here and here.

I have checked previous answers, and think this one is pretty close to what I'm trying to do: Display content having the taxonomy of the logged in user

However, I couldn't seem to get it to work for Drupal 8

  • thank you for that! Unfortunately, I'm not getting any results populating on on the view page (even though articles nodes are generated with the relevant tags are generated). Coud it be because the user profile is using field_interests and the article is using field_event_category? Should I be using 'Add relationships: 'Content using field_event_category' instead?

  • @Darcy nope needs to be using field interest relationship. Can you provide a screenshot of your View's settings? Maybe you did something wrong.
