I'm trying to filter a view to display only nodes of the current user. Filter by user:current is missing however, where can it be found/enabled?
I must be missing something simple.

In Drupal 7, Views 3, you must add the Relationship of Content: Author on the right side under the Advanced settings. Once you've added that relationship, you will be able to see the User: Current filter.

You can use another method without require any relationship.
in Advanced settings add Contextual filters select Content: Author uid and in settings of it select Provide default value ,in type selectbox choose User ID from logged in user

2Couldn't anyone then put whatever UID they wanted in the URL and ignore your default setting? – Charlie Schliesser Jul 05 '13 at 17:22

1User ID from logged in user is based on the user id of the current logged in user. It reads it from the global $user object and has nothing to do with the ur. – Gokul N K Oct 11 '13 at 03:08

Is there any advantage to using this method over the relationship method? Is it more efficient or something like that? – s427 Dec 30 '13 at 13:51
