Body: <p>We have a client we would like to show the current logged in users membership status in a Drupal View alongside other contact fields. As the user may not have a membership yet at all then this can't be a CiviMember based View. </p>
  
  <p>Instead we wanted to use a Smart Group in CiviCRM based on the membership status. Then in a standard CiviContact based View show details about the logged in user including the status of the smart group. But it looks like smart group data isn't available to Views. I found a few old posts about this, does anyone know if this is still the case?</p>

  I believe you can connect your civiContact view to the membership fields without using that smart group.
  
  I have had success (in views 3) in the past with a civiContact based view using a relationship *civiCRM Contacts: Drupal ID* and a contextual filter *User: UID* that is configured to provide a default value from the logged in user when none is available.
  
  Then you can put in civiCRM member status field with a relationship to the logged in Drupal user with your other contact fields and filters and configure the no results behavior from there.
