I am trying to personalize the viewing experience for users on a site. I'm trying to figure out how to create a view that will show content tagged with taxonomy term 'a_term' to users with the role 'a_role'. I want to tag all of my content with these different tags so that users with 'b_role' will see content tagged with 'b_term', 'c_role' -> 'c_term', etc...

Note: these are example names for roles/terms - there will be no naming convention like this.

Have you taken a look at Taxonomy Access? It allows you to set access control for roles based on taxonomy terms.

EDIT: Ignore the above dumb reply and feel free to downvote.

I think you could do this by creating a custom contextual filter in Views. Your contextual filter would look at the current user and decide which taxonomy terms ids to return.

If you are using Drupal 7 you could tag the users themselves with the same terms as a way to store which terms are associated with which users. Otherwise you might need to create a separate table to store the user to taxonomy association.

  • Looks great, but I don't want to restrict access to these nodes. I want a "Things You Might Be Interested In" functionality. I based what they're interested in on their role, which they choose when they signup.
