TIP: Views block to show logged in Users Member/Contact info

[petednz]

Thought this might save someone else some time. A simple View with a Page and a Block.
The Block has the following Contextual Filter so that who ever is logged in will see a block with their Name, MemberType, Status and End Date.
Filter = User UID
When Filter Value is Not Available = Provide Default Value = User ID from logged in user
You can add other fields.
There is also a page set without the Contextual Filter so that you can see the data that is going to be displayed for all users.
You may need to set the block to only show for a particular role eg Authorised, and/or configure it for 'no results'

How right you were thinking that someone else might be in your same situation.

Unfortunately, I am not sure which View Type to choose. I am asking because when choosing the "Node Type" I didn't find the CiviCRM fields. For the "User Type" as well and for the "CiviCRM Contact Type" I didn't see the User UID.

Thanks for clarifying and enlightening me.

Cheers

T - not clear - I thought I had attached the view - so all you need do is copy it and 'import view' and the rest should just happen - ie you don't need to decide what View type.

Ahh. Didn't see the attachment. Unfortunately, still running views 2. Any hint how to approach it manually?

Think I got it. Changed the code to core = 6 and api to 2.0. Imported it and got one error, but might be able to square this away. Data shows correctly so far for logged in user.
