CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm curious if anyone has a workaround for this scenario --

I created a profile linked to a group (past presidents of the association) that shows just a few fields. I would like to expose that list on my frontend (using Joomla 1.0.13).

What I'm finding is that if I choose the "profile search and listing" task, it assumes I want to search for fields, and gives me a page letting me know none of the fields in this profile are searchable, rather than giving me just the list of contacts in that profile/group.

I would also like to expose other groups in a similar way, for instance committee membership. Since all that is tracked in realtime in my CiviCRM database, it makes sense that I'd want to show the front end list using the realtime info rather than maintaining a separate static list. But I don't want/need it to be searchable, and don't necessarily need a link to the full contact data.

Any ideas?
