View My Posts and Favorited Posts

Overview

A profile's My Posts list contains articles written by that profile. Favorited Posts contains articles that profile has marked as favorites. Use the first list to find the profile's own articles and the second to revisit articles the profile chose to keep.

Prerequisites

Before you start, have an article preview with an author name at its top. The profile information and its two list tabs appear after the profile loads. If you plan to use the favorite action on an article, use the signed-in route required for that action.

Find and open a profile

Open the profile from the author name so the application supplies the profile to the parameterized profile route.

Prerequisites

• You are on a page that contains a profile link.

Steps

1. Select the author name at the top of the article preview.

2. When the profile page finishes loading, select the list that matches your task:

   If you need to…	Select
   Review articles written by the profile	My Posts
   Review articles the profile has favorited	Favorited Posts

   The profile page uses the profile route, and its list tabs use the profile route's empty child route and favorites child route.

Result: The profile page is open with the list you selected.

Understand the profile lists

The profile area identifies the profile with its username and bio, then places the two article lists below the profile information. The lists show articles rather than editable article fields.

While the list loads, it displays Loading articles.... If the selected list has no results, it displays No articles are here... yet.

Switch between My Posts and Favorited Posts

Use this procedure when you want to compare the profile's authored articles with the articles the profile has favorited.

Prerequisites

• You have opened the profile page.

Steps

1. Select My Posts.
2. Review the authored-article list.
3. Select Favorited Posts.
4. Review the favorited-article list.

Result: The profile's favorited-article list is open. Select My Posts whenever you need to return to the profile's authored articles.

Handle list variations

Each selected list can show a loading message, no results, one page, or several pages. Article previews also provide actions for opening an article and changing its favorite state.

Prerequisites

• You have opened either My Posts or Favorited Posts.

Steps

1. When Loading articles... appears, continue after the article results or empty-list message appears.
2. If the list has more than one page, select the required page number.
3. If you want to open an article, select Read more... on its preview.

Result: The selected article page is open, or the requested result page is displayed.

When profile loading goes wrong

If the profile cannot load, the profile page uses the message Failed to load profile.

What to do next

After you find the article or profile action you need, continue with the page that owns that work.

Select Read more... on an article preview to open the selected article.
