Hi all,

I am trying to create a custom profile used to show search results.  How do I make one that is not publicly accessible?  This profile is for internal staff use only and should not be publicly accessible.

Thanks for your help,

Good question, it shouldn't be necessary to make it publicly visible, but because you can't set fields as a column unless it's visible, you pretty much have to.

Not sure if it's only a limitation on the edit form or somewhere down the road too. Could you try hacking the edit form of the profile to let the user select the field as a search column even if the visibility is admin only ?

Other than that, as a workaround you can create a custom template for the specific profile, and add a test in it to check if the user is anonymous.

in templates/CRM/Profile/Page/x/Listings.tpl View and Form/x/Edit.tpl, add a

{if !$session->get('userID') > 0}
Members only area. Nothing to see
{else}
The normal form
{/if}


Or write a hook that verify that the user has the right access before displaying the profile x (probably more versatile and easier to maintain in the long run)

X+

Use Views how?

Thanks, I'll have a go. And will try not to be frightened by that diagram. 

you need to set up the view-handler for any custom data fields you want to use = so 'can it be done without any code', well you need to update the settings.php for each custom field you want exposed in Views.
