I've been tinkering with Views for about an hour with no luck. I found a couple of posts but nothing did quite what I wanted.

It's very simple, I'd like a View in Drupal that shows all the relationships in CiviCRM of the currently-logged in user.

For instance:

Person A:
Currently authenticated user
Related to: Person B and Person C.

Person B:
Related to: Person A

Person C:
Related to: Person A

I'd like a view that, when Person A is logged in, will show them names Person B and Person C.

How to configure with Views and Relationships? Sorry if this is a dumb questions, don't use Views a great deal and I've never done this before. (using 3.4.4 civi)

I will take a peek at some we have done but don't recall any of them focussing in relationship
would it be something like - View Type is CiviCRM RElationshps - then also make a Views Relationship of eg Contact A - that will provide you with the Contact Data Fields eg Display Name.
Next step would be to crank in an argument for the 'current user' though I suspect that might need another Relationship to get it back to the CiviContact.
Hmm or is it a View type of CiviCRM Contact and then use the View Relationship to grab the relationship
Okay yep is beginning to sound complex

actually was some discussion here http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,7516.msg33424.html#msg33424

also check the views i pasted here which were tying together indivs with their companies

I think the missing key is Arguments. It won't work without an argument for the 'current user' which we can get and put in the link.
