I am looking for someone working their way through the excellent book, The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7. I need some help getting one the sample tasks to work.
1. Do your homework and Provide detailed specifics.
My system is installed on my laptop, using latest WAMPSERVER download, Drupal 7.10.
This problem concerns a sample “create” task in The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7, Chapter 3, page 82, Table 3.6, creating a view with contextual filters. When I test the link in the Blogs block on my Home page, I get the error “Access denied You are not authorized to access this page”. The link is suppose to take me to a page view of blog posts for the logged in user.
2. Describe what you've done so far.
In Views Edit, I followed exactly from the book entering the values for Title, Format, Filters, Sort, Page Settings and Contextual Filters.
I figured out that in order to use User:Name as a Contextual Filter, you have to setup the Configure Relationship: Content: Author.
I looked at the Status Report for Node Access Permission. It is currently Disabled (which I think is OK), and I even ran Rebuild permissions available here.
