Hi Friends,

After a 3 days googling and wandering around web for this solution I am at last here. Please Help. The Problem is very simple I want to show the search form of one of my civicrm profile which add and fetch data from a specific group to be displayed in content instead of making a "Profile search" menu. Why I want to do this is because I want to display the search form in a content when the site loads instead of clicking on search form menu to access the form??

I know how to place HTNL and Js in content or in module positions in Joomla so Is there any way to have the html/Js of the search form so that I can place it in the content?? or is there any other way to display form in content or module?

Adding the source code in the content worked! Thanks.
But I have one more problem left. That is, I want that each time someone search for a specific blood group in a specific city, the listing should be random. Because the problem is if a person search for a specific blood group in a city if every tme same list order opens people often contact the same persons for blood donation request, but if the listing/search results would be random each time than there will be more probability that a new person will be contacted. So how can I achieve this that every time a person search the search results should be displayed randomly not in alphabetic or date order. how can I do this?

Ok

But Dave there is one another problem still there . It is related to my first question i.e. how to place search form in the content. The problem is when I copy the form code from the browser source code and paste it in the content, the form works very wel for 2-3 three times and after that it gives this error

"Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
The requested Profile (gid=3) is disabled OR it is not configured to be used for 'Profile' listings in its Settings OR there is no Profile with that ID OR you do not have permission to access this profile. Please contact the site administrator if you need assistance."

I am wondering that how the form works for 2-3 times and then automatically stops working? And If I copy and paste fresh code then it again works for 2-3 times and again gives same error. I tried different browsers and also by emtying cache/colies etc.

Please help Dave.

The source code I am pasting in my content to show the form is :

Mjawadsheikh,

I replicated the same exact problem as you described. In my case it the form stopped working as soon as I removed the hidden qfKey variable.

Sergeich - have you verified that the anonymous role has the appropriate permissions for CiviCRM Profiles. If you're using Drupal or Joomla 1.6 / 1.7 - you do need to explicitly grant those permissions.

i think the standalone profile form was designed only for the create form: civicrm/profile/create

I dont think we've ever tested it with the search form

sorry, not sure whats involved with getting the search field to be independent and put in an article. You'll need to debug and figure out why it works first and then stops working

if using drupal, you can potentially use the views integration to do the needful
