If a user is set as a filter in a grid view, you have an option when you create the menu item to select the user you want to filter by

Can we have an extra option

- Dynamically filter by LOGGED IN USER at the time the menu item is clicked i.e JFactory::getUser();

Using ACL and some minor code changes this can be achieved but it would be sweet if we just had a menu item that did it. This allows us to have a dynamic filter that pulls off record auto filtered by whoever is logged in which for me has a lot of great uses as my last few projects have been callout systems, booking systems etc

Hi, I have set the menu item to filter by user name ( created by ) . But after entering a new item the list view defaults back to all. How do I get it to stay as the current user?? I've tried putting in the code above but get an error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function setState() on a non-object in /home/safer180/public_html/components/com_chemicals/views/chemregister/tmpl/default_grid.php on line

Man I wish I had more time to learn the code properly.
