I can't seem to get profile listings to filter like step 9 in the wiki specifies here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Configure+CiviCRM+Profile#ConfigureCiviCRMProfile-9.ProfileSearch%2FListings

See this example:
http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/profile?reset=1&force=1&gid=7&state_province_id=1228

I've tried everything I can think of the field=value for state, ones that make sense and ones that don't... state-Primary=FL, state=FL, state_province_id=FL, State=FL, State=Florida, etc...

The field is searchable, the profile has been limited to a specific group, the field label is "State".
Anyone able to get a successful search or have ideas or more questions?

Thanks.

Thanks Dave, I was able to configure everything I wanted to for my profiles. The "View Source" trick was exactly what I needed.

Another question, though-- where is the non-obsolete documentation describing this?  I can add to the page if it makes sense, but I'm having trouble finding it.

Thanks.
 

SOLUTION: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,1437.msg8734.html#msg8734  Limit Listings to Group in the Profile.

Dave et al.,

Wow!  It's like being able to see the oasis, but not get a drink...

I have what seems like a complex situation in 1.9 where I have my Joomla users (sorry), and my Legislators in the same civicrm_contacts table.

I only want to display Legislators, which are contact_id < 141
Legislators also have either R, D, or I in their Source field, whereas users have NULL
Legislators have their District name/number like "59th" in legal_identifier

I am pretty sure that you would strip < from the URL, and contact_id is not found in the page source.  I tried searching with &contact_id=2, which exists, and it had no effect.

I added &source<>"" to a working URL, and it was apparently ignored, because I got the same list back.

Is there a syntax that works in this scenario for:

{field} = NULL
{field} = XYZ or {field} = PDQ
{field} <> XYZ

Thanks!
Ken

YES! Joy in Mudville!  Limit Listings to Group is an Advanced Topic in the Joomla component, a property of the Profile.  Fortunately, I had created a separate profile for my Legislators that was largely redundant with the Contacts, but somehow seemed right.

LLtG is a beautiful thing.

This is Joomla 1.0.13 and CiviCRM 1.9.12432

THANKS!
