I have created a filter based block showing more nodes by same Author. It is working as expected. Instead of static header for block title, I would like to say something like "more stories by %user" where %user is replaced by Author name. But somehow my syntax is wrong. I already have Token module so not sure if the FC module supports that. Most likely my syntax is wrong so looking for suggestions. (already tried %uid with no luck)

Unfortunately no tokens are handled but that is a good idea... I'm not sure how easy that would be since you could select multiple authors. Perhaps I need to create my own tokens like:

fc-users
fc-content-types
fc-terms
etc.

I'll think about this but they need to be specific to the block... so really it would probably need the block number in it like fc-6-users or something similar.

Just an update that I won't have time to look into any feature requests until February at the earliest as I just started writing a Drupal book on a compressed timeline.

Thanks for your patience,
Kristen

Getting back to the queue... I don't think this will make sense for the block title because you won't know who the author is (each node might be a different author).

If someone wants to pursue this, let me know if you want to be a co-maintainer. Thanks!

На моем сайте около сотни организаций, которые должны иметь собственное меню. С помощью вашего модуля мне удалось это реализовать. Каждая организация группируется с помощью терминов таксономии. Очень хорошо было бы, если бы в заголовке меню у каждой организации было одноименное название термина. Однако tokens [term:name], как впрочем и все остальные, не работают. Ругается на "invalid tokens..."

Going through old items... the text above roughly translates (via Google Translate) to:

"On my site about a hundred organizations that need to have their own menu. With your module I managed to implement it. Each organization is grouped with the help of taxonomy terms. Very nice it would be if the title menu each organization had the same name of the term. However, tokens [term: name], as well, and all the rest, do not work. Swears on "invalid tokens ..."

This appears to be a different issue altogether but the idea of supporting tokens is interesting and would need to be a separate ticket. The context for the token would need to be the node though so the example above ([term: name]) wouldn't work.
