I am trying to use the asset publisher portlet on a page and filter the content pulled back to a particular category that also matches the current users custom attribute for location.
I have found other posts and bugs related to this and have tried all the steps from this issue - https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-19681
There was also another issue in that if the users custom attribute was blank it would then just pull back all the content so I have made sure I have a value in all the users custom attributes but it still just seems to ignore this and pull back all the content
I am using liferay-portal-6.2-ee-sp8
The below test I would expect my test user to not be able to see any news in the list
Step 1: create the custom user attribute (I have tried both searchable as text and keyword)
Step 2: make sure all the users can see the attribute
Step 3: add new vocabulary for location with some categories for locations
Step 4: Add an asset publisher to the page and set it to filter on content type categorized as news and filter on the user custom attribute Location
Step 5: Create some web content and categorize it as news with the international location
Step 6: Update the test user setting the custom location attribute to 'None'
Step 7: Log in with test user and view page, would expect list to be empty as there are no news item with the Location of none
The custom user attribute seems to have no effect whatsoever on the results of the asset publisher it is like it is ignored. People in this issue (https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-19681) and on the forums seemed to have a mixed results some people seem to be able to get it to work and some don't.
Any advice much appreciated
