I have a view of Drupal nodes with CiviCRM contact reference fields with a block display that shows on my civicrm contact pages (such as /civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=1). I want to create a contectual filter (argument) that will "Provide default value" of CiviCRM contact ID so that my results are filtered based on the contact record page that the view block is displayed on.

Simply: I want a list of referencing nodes displayed in a block on the page of each CiviCRM contact record.

I know this can be done using "Provide default value" > "PHP code" and returning the contact record using the CiviCRM API. How?

I hope this discussion leads to a nice resource for others, as this is a common use-case for views integration. Thank you.

Each contact record page has the contact id in the URL.
If views can't just take it directly from the url, then use php code like this:

Code: [Select]

return $_GET['cid'];
