I’ve tried looking for a similar problem to this but I’ve not had much luck.

Using EE2

I’m looking to setup a simple system that shows client specific information depending on the username.

For each user (there won’t be many) there will be multiple channel entries.
I want to be able to display only the channel entries relevant to that user when they log in.

What I’ve tried is to set up a channel and username that are exactly the same and call in that channel in an expression based on the username:

{exp:channel:entries channel="{username}" limit="1000" disable="categories|pagination|trackbacks"}

I’m guessing this isn’t working due to a parsing order, so my question is, Is there another way to go about this without setting up a template of tens of if, else:if statements checking for what user is logged in?

I’d like the user to be able to log in and then on that next page see only the information relevant to them and a list of their entries.

Thanks.

One way is to register users into the system, put all the content in a shared channel, assign users as authors of their entries, and then use a conditional against the current_user constant:

Thanks for the help, Mike! Steve, does that set you up with a solution?
