Can't edit Smart Group that was created using Search Builder?
November 27, 2011, 06:26:45 am
I created a Smart Group using Search Builder and now I would like to modify the query.  However, when I go into Manage Groups, Settings, Edit Smart Group Criteria, my only choice is "Advanced Search" - there's no way to bring up the Search Builder at this point.

Is this a missing feature, or user error (grin)?

Thanks,
Chris

If you click on contacts for that smart group, u'll see a button at the top saying:

"Edit Smart group search criteria for .."

You can see an example here:

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/group/search?reset=1&force=1&context=smog&gid=10

Yeah, you would think that would work, but ...

The pages you get to when you click on that only allow you to edit the query using the "Advanced Search" page but never the "Search Builder" page which lets you operate much closer to the database level ...

check:

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/search/builder?reset=1&force=1&ssID=2

which is a search builder based smart group

I think it's a bug that appeared in version 4.0 ... on the version 3.4 page you link to there's the little right-pointing triangle next to "Edit Search Criteria", and when you click it, the edit section pops open.  In my version 4.0 site, that same right-pointing triangle is there, same heading saying "Edit Search Criteria", and the cursor changes when I mouse over the heading, but when I click there nothing happens.

Is there a version 4.0 demo site like the version 3.4 site, so we can verify whether this is my personal setup or a more widespread bug?

Thanks,
Chris

Weird ... I guess the permissions are set strangely on the demo, there aren't any Smart Groups already created, and I don't have access to the Search screen that would let me create one ...

OK, this is getting stranger.  On the demo site (d7.demo.civicrm.org) I can click on the right-pointing triangle next to the words "Edit Search Criteria" and have the search edit area drop down and open up.  On my site I've got that same right-pointing triangle next to the words "Edit Search Criteria" and the cursor changes to a hand when over that triangle, indicating something clickable, but when I click on it nothing happens.  No dropdown, not even any indication that it's thinking about anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
