Author Topic: How to use a profile to view one contact or contacts of a certain type? (Read 629 times)

I've created a profile for viewing Organizations (gid=9) that is intended to display just a few fields from a contact record.

The normal URL to view contact 138 looks like this:

Code: [Select]

http://mysite/civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=138

How do I form a URL or otherwise use my profile to:

1. View one arbitrary contact using the Organization profile?
-OR -
2. Have a person click on an item in search results, and see the selected item using the profile?

I'm NOT trying to create a Profile for viewing my own (Individual) contact record.

I'm also NOT trying to create a Profile for the search results layout (I found separate instructions for that).

thanks
Harry

Never mind: I was doing the right things with my URLs, but my profile/search Profile settings were too restrictive. Once I made set visibility to "Public Pages and Listings" and included the fields in search listings, these URLs work. The second URL was provided automatically by clicking an item in the search results.

Code: [Select]

http://mysite/civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=9
http://mysite/civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&id=138&gid=9
