BuddyPress.org

I’ve followed the following a couple of conversations about using the post_author_id to filter posts in a view. Before I jump into BuddyPress with both feet, I’d like to be sure I can accomplish what I’m after:

I am creating a community site that allows artists of many types to submit their artwork as custom Portfolio posts.

I have had the worst time finding a way to present the Portfolio posts in a feed filtered by the post_author_id=profile_user_id. In other words, I want to present all the posts by an artist in a custom tab on their own profile page, and have that feed remain the same if someone else views that artist’s profile.

Please advise if I’m on the right track.

Thanks,
Benjamin
