contextual filter author id

Question

Ok, so here's my problem. I feel it's really very simple and I am missing something. I have a Drupal 7 view which shows a certain type of content. Say it has a url mysite.com/article. What I want is, if the url is like mysite.com/article/me, it would load the articles posted by this current user. "me" will always be "me" and would not take any id/username.

Hope the problem is clear. Thanks

Answer 1

1. Add the filter "Content: Author uid" in your contextual filter;
2. Check "Provide default value";
3. Select "User ID from logged in user".

And to distinct all articles with articles by author you need to create separated views/panels.
