Hi there.....

In a views where I use fields from a node type I need to fetch fields from another node type that the same user have made...
But I cant figure out how to to this can anyone point me in the right direction...

My setup is that I have a node type which with nodelimit user only can create 1 off...
I then wan't user to be able to make another nodetype (news) which I through views need to make a block with which
I then can show on frontpage....
So I make a view showing fields from the node:news they make, and then need to fetch fields from the other nodetype(userpage) the same user have created

So the relation would be something like node:news <-> user <-> node:userpage

Yes, that's exactly how you'd do it. The first views relationship will be Content: Relation: YourRelation (node -> user), and the second will be User: Content authored, and it will use the first relationship. Then you can add fields using the second relationship.

The problem is that the second views relationship doesn't discriminate between node types, so you will get fields from all of the content the user has created, regardless of nodelimit. You might be better off using the core profile module for user data, if that's what you're using the userpage node type for, as it has a dedicated views relationship (I think), otherwise you might be able to use the User: dedicated node relationship.
