CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

There is yet a further question ( first one: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,18205.0.html ) now and it is rather EMERGENCY level this time.

We had created our own custom profile layout (I will call it) to support a database list of professionals / third parties. Added fields to it, yadda yadda... There are search capabilities for that profile. It was meant to be a Rolodex of sorts.

Totally separate, WE THOUGHT, was entries within ANOTHER profile layout for our constituents.

Horror of horrors, constituents show up through the search view of the list of professionals / third parties!!!

Is CiviCRM really NOT partitioning the Profile area of the database, keeping track of which record is of which type, perhaps via the GID=# in the URL? Or did we do something wrong when we added the database list of professionals / third parties?

And yes, we have already done as much damage control as possible by 8:18 Sunday morning... Disabled the Rolodex profile, added /civicrm/ to robots.txt, requested Google dump the data.

Yes Lobo, we found "Limit listings to a specific Group?" and selected the "Rolodex" type. Bingo! (sssiiiggghhh....)

Thank you for confirming the solution we had arrived at. We appreciate it! 

* Restrict permissions on "Profile Search" to a limited group

By this, is that restriction specified at a global level, or for each type of profile? Actually we need anonymous to be able to search through the "Rolodex" type, but obviously NOT other types of profiles.

This one "Rolodex" profile type is the only profile type that search is enabled for. But that is "right now"... so if we need another Profile type to be searchable, will "Limit listings to a specific Group?" keep Profiles separate? (I would think so based on the UI.)
