Hey guys,
I'm developing a site where users can post links and follow eachother. I want to create a view that shows the latest links from users the currently logged in user is following.
I looked at the different friending modules, UR, friendlist, Flag friend for D6, and UR appeared to be the most supported and fully-featured.
I installed it, created a one-way relationship called "follow" and began following people to get some relationships in the DB. Then I integrated it into my theme.
Today, I went to create the view that would show nodes written by people the currently logged in user is following...and it doesn't appear to be possible.
Is this for real? I assumed this would be possible. Why else would anyone want a friending module if not to filter content?
It's possible I'm just really bad at using Views2 and am overlooking something. But I don't see any way to filter content by author's relationship to the logged in user.
If anyone out there knows how to do this, please let me know. I'm open to paying a bounty to getting this work. Just send me a quote.

I believe there's User
I believe there's User Relationships in filter that I'm sure you're aware of. You can filter this by Requestee or Requester user.. and then add another filter for User: Current.
I managed to create the view
I managed to create the view I needed by patching one of the files in the User Relationship Views module.

hI!
Hi!, I'm trying to filter some content from my two sides relationship :"friends".
I have a view with argument (requester), relationship (requestee), filter by node type.
But when I show the fields I see duplicated nodes cause It shows one copy of the node of the desired type for each relationship. (it means : If I have 3 friends, it shows 3 copies of the node)
And also, the users image that shows it's not the author's (of the node) one, it is the image of the user in the relationship.
Could you help me a little with that? (sorry for my poor english, i'm a spanish young developer and it's a little difficult for me to speak in english fluently)
A resume:
-Arguments:
User relationships: Requester user
-Relationships:
User relationships: Requestee user
-Filters:
Nodo: Tipe = XXXXXXX
User relationships: Relationship status = 1
-Fields:
(requestee) User: Image
(requestee) User: name
Node: Title
Node: Nid
I also read your changes in the view of the module. It's that usefull for me too?
THANKS!

--Arguments:
(REQUESTER) User relationships: Requester user - USER IN THE LOGIN
-Relationships:
User relationships: Requester user
User relationships: Requestee user
-Filters:
Nodo: Tipe = XXXXXXX
(requester) User: Current No
-Fields:
User: Image
User: name
Node: Title
