Extract field from content type in View and have it appear as a block next to appropriate node I need to pull a field from a content type and have it appear as a view in the sidebar next to the node it belongs to. I can't figure out what parameter to use in Views to indicate that my view block should appear by the node it was extracted from. Maybe something to do with relationships?
This can be done with contextual filters.


Set up the view to display whatever information you need; put the view in a block that only displays on the page for that content type
Add a contextual filter, selecting a field that contains the NID.  For example, this could be content: nid
For "when filter is not available" select "provide default value", then "content ID from URL"


After doing this, the view will only display the single result, where the NID field matches the NID of the node currently being viewed.
