unexpected message after pressing Cancel on editing profile

[karenann]

"No fields in this Profile have been configured as searchable. Ask the site administrator to check the Profile setup."
I have a menu item for the user to be able to edit their address etc. If they make a change and press Save, all is good.
If the hit Cancel then they get this message i would not expect to see.
Any suggestions on a work around so that they do not get this message?

Should i log this as a bug?

You should probably just set one of the fields to be searchable. Other than that, you probably shouldn't be showing warnings and errors on a production site anyway.

I think this happens because by default a cancel redirects you to the form that you can use to search via a profile (for whatever reason).

I presume you are at a URL that looks like this: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile/create?gid=1&reset=1 or this http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile/edit?gid=1&reset=1&id=201

Hitting cancel takes you here: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=1. I agree this isn't an amazing place for it to redirect you to (though not sure where a better place is - maybe the same form as it was when you first saw it).

In advanced settings for a profile e.g. on this page, http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/uf/group/update?action=update&id=1&context=group you should see a 'Cancel Redirect URL' field that you can use to override where to go when they hit cancel, which should stop you from seeing this error.

You could override it so that hitting cancel took you back to where you were if you were using create mode i.e.http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile/ceate?reset=1&gid=1 or in edit mode http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/profile/edit?gid=1 (without reset=1 in this case).

You will have to replace the gid with the id of your profile.

I would say - yes - this probably is a bug, and I would file a bug report so that it can get fixed. Not 100% that the above suggestion is sensible default for the profile but we can work that out later. Can you pelase reference this post to the report, and visa versa when you file the issue.

Thanks
