hi,
This is probably an easy query (unless u don't know of course) so presuming that u guys do ....
I need to show only the posts associated with the current user who is logged in i.e. when user logs in they see a list of THEIR POSTS preferably within a link to 'edit this post'. I guess a, 'get_posts_by_username' type tag would be useful if one existed - or a plugin.
Thats all really -- any ideas please???
query_posts("author_name=YOUR USER NAME") at the beginning of your loop will do it.

hi, thanks for ur quick reply -
to clarify,
[1]
do you mean place this within the loop (first line inside the loop) or completely outside the loop.
[2]
what variable do i pass into this function in place of, "YOUR USER NAME" - since i can't specify it literally (i.e. it must be derived from the user that is currently logged in)
[3]
I'm using my own loop since i'm using my own static home.php page will this still work in this situation - i've copied most of the main template tags to it such as header(), sidebar() etc....
1. Just before the loop. Not inside it.
2. Probably better to use the author=ID# instead. Then you just need to check $user and $user->ID to see who's logged in. if ($user) { query_posts('author='.$user->ID); }, basically.
3. Should work okay. Depends on how your custom loop works.
