I'd like to be able to provide a "Category List" view that only shows Articles that the currently logged in user owns.

Is there somewhere I can edit the query used to populate the Category List view or an extension that provides this functionality.

Thank you for any help you can provide. -J.

Thank you for your answer. I've written the plugin. Instead of passing in an array of Articles the onContentBeforeDisplay function is called for every article and an ArrayObject of the single article gets passed in. I've been able to identify the articles I want not to be displayed but still cannot get them not to display.

The $params variable has values such as "list_show_xxx" but I can't seem to change or access them.

here is a var_dump($params):

I've tried $params->data->list_show_author = "0" but then the page doesn't load, problem is accessing and changing the variables in $param.

So the last step is to figure out how not to show the article. Any ideas?
