Contextual Filter by field value [#1571274]

Hi,

Probably a really stupid question but am new to this and spent a considerable number of hours trying to achieve this with no success.... :(

I am using Views Slideshow alongside view.

I need a view where I only show content with the same value for a field as the open node. (The field is a Nodereference field to a parent object). How can I create a contextual filter for this?

I have tried returning using a contextual filter with a php default value. Unfortunately I have 0 knowledge of php and so have had to rely on google and struggling. I guess what I need to do is use a contextual filter for the field and the php needs to return the open node's value for that field?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Ben

Have you added a relationship for node_reference? You should be able to use the 'current content ID from URL' default argument and then add a node_reference relationship. You can then use this relationship for you fields to display your references.
