Hello Sergey

Can you tell if is possible to make the cobalt records module to display only articles coming from ther owner of article your viewing ?

Currently I see only this available option:

  • Do not restrict
  • Restrict currently logged in user
  • Restrict current user's homepage
  • Restrict current user's homepage or curently logged in
  • Restrict curently logged in or current user's homepage

Is it possible to add one more option:

  • Display only articling from browsed article owner ?

As far as I know, this and other pre-made conditions are a feature of Records field.

(BTW, i already made some requests to equalize Records-field and -module in their feature sets. But wihtout success. In general, I like the idea to use a J! module position because of layout and assignment... on the other hand, it makes absolutely sense to have the most options in article full view context. Therefor most options are found in the field version, IMHO.)

See highlighted option and more Author+field options at the bottom:

jimie Restrict current user's homepage

This is the option. Current user is the one whose homepage you are looking at or whose article full view you ar viewing right now.

Oky I decided to use the "Records" type field, but I found this:

There`s a problem with the "Author's other articles"

That option will show other articles from that article owner only if I`m logged as that owner rgds

It should show other articles of the author of current article no matter who is logged in currently.

Yes. Because it is not a module. Modiule may be show on different pages but reords field only in article full view. So article author is author by default.
