Hello:

We have a forum named "Set Lists" and would like to create a block on the users profile page that show's their recent posts to that specific forum (ie, User X's recent posts to Set Lists).

I am using Advanced Profile module for the user profile pages and can add blocks. I got far enough to create a view that shows the all the forums but am stuck identifiying the specific forum "Set Lists" and furthermore how to indicate only post from that specific user of the profile page.

What I Did (which might be incorrect from the start):

1.Created a node based view.
2.Added filters "Published: Yes"
3.Added filter "Node Type: Published"
4.? Tried adding filter "Node Type: Body" to be "Set lists", didn't work, stuck now dont know how to specify the particular forum

Thanks

Forums are taxonomy terms. You need to filter on taxonomy. The node body is the actual text of the node.

I filtered on taxonomy and it worked. I am now able to see only posts in subform "set lists". Now the next part of my question, which is actually APK related, is how to show those posts only by the user profile we are on? Since this view is going to be put in the user_profile page.

Thanks

Figured out how to just show info for the current profile being viewed; The view needs an argument so create a new argument for "user: uid" > select 'provide default' and then select 'User ID from URL'. Whallah, now when added to the user_view APK enhanced page I just see all posts to that subforum from that user.

This might come in handy for someone.
