[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] Display posts only to associated users

I’m using Posts 2 Users to associate one or more users to a post and a custom post type called ‘proposal’.

Now on the index and archive pages, I only want to display the posts associated to that user i.e. the user is not able to see a post if it has not been associated with him.

I’ve had a look through the documentation but I don’t see anything that shows me how to filter the loop according to the currently logged in user. Can Posts 2 Posts do what I want?

Thanks

Yep, you can use the ‘parse_query’ action:

function filter_viewable_posts( $wp_query ) {
  if ( ! $wp_query->is_main_query() )
    return;

  $wp_query->set( 'connected_type', 'YOUR_CONNECTION_TYPE' );
  $wp_query->set( 'connected_items', get_current_user_id() );
}
add_action( 'parse_query', 'filter_viewable_posts' );
