profile search forms in Drupal block
October 02, 2009, 06:16:05 pm
Hi,
I want to add a cut-down profile search form to a Drupal block.
I tried copy and pasting the source html of the Civicrm search page for the profile (www.mysite.com/civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=3) into a Drupal block. Not the html of the standalone form but the html of page you use to search with the profile.

but upon using the form in the block I get a non-recoverable error, I believe it's session related, qfKey not generated or something.

Is there a correct way to do this for profile search forms?

I dont think there is an easy way of doing so in v3.0 and below. You might want to construct the html dynamically and put it in the block. This generates the qfKey as needed etc

Thanks for the reply lobo.

I don't know php I'm afraid, do you have any pointers for generating the html form dynamically? I'm guessing what I need will be in a template file somewhere?

Other option that may not require any php is to use Views - depending on what fields etc you are using.
