hello,

im looking for a way to do the following: I have profiles set up on my site using apk. i also have a number of content types. I'd like to insert a "Reccomend" Or "like" link into the content types that when clicked on by a member, will reflect on the user profile as a link. Prime example:: You have a cck type set up for recipes. a member goes to a page you have set up for that recipe, and clicks on a "reccomend" link. Then on the users profile, there is a field for "user's reccomendations" which would automatically link to the recipe node that was selected by the user.

im sure there may be a way or even a module to do this but I was unable to find any. If anyone knows how this may be accomplished, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Chris

Use the Flag module for recommending, set up a view with the Views module of flagged nodes in that type with UID for the argument, make a content pane display and set it to take the argument from the context, add the pane to the user profile page variant.

If you catch me when I'm on the computer with something I know off the top of my head, I can be pretty quick. :)

If you have trouble with the argument part, look at the posts view that comes with APK and how it does it.

Michelle,

I got everything set up as planned, and the "recommended" nodes appear on the users profile in the location id like them too. the only problem is the same recommended nodes appear on every profile. i checked and make sure the arguments for the context pane are set to take from context, and uses the User-UID argument (as the apk uses).

I have double checked my steps, but could not pinpoint what I may have possibly looked over. Do you have any suggestions of what I may be missing?

I have attached a screenshot of the view.

Thanks again

The only thing I can see is under relationships you have "Flags: recommended by any user". I haven't set up the flag view on my site, yet, so I don't know if that's the problem but is there anything in there to set it to recommended by the user in the argument?

Well there are Options for "Any User", or "current user". I had it set to "any user" but then changed it to "current user" saved my changes, but to no avail...

good catch though, i thought that may have been it...

Project: Advanced Profile Kit » Flag
Version: 6.x-1.0-alpha3 » 6.x-1.3

Ok, I think you're beyond where I can help you because I haven't made a view with the Flag module, yet. I'm moving this over to their queue and I updated the title to make it clearer what you are stuck on. I set the version to 1.3... Please change if that's not the version you're on.

Good luck!

You shouldn't need to use any Flag validators on your UID argument. I'd suggest just using the default "" validator or using the "User" validator to ensure numeric user IDs.

hmm, ok i changed it to no validation. and then, also to "User" (numeric ID) and the recommended nodes are the same on all profiles. Im going to check to see if there are any settings in the panel pane that may overide this.....

attaching the panel pane settings. maybe something here...
