I'm trying to publicly output a limited list of contacts for an organization.  The organization this is for wants to display list of member organizations.  However, this could also easily be applied to a list of board members or volunteers, or anywhere you want to pull a live list out of the database.  It seems to me that the best way to accomplish this is with a Profile.

So I setup a profile to just display the name of the organization, and limited it to the membership group.  They only want to display organization names, so this profile has one field (Organization Name).  No search is wanted, so after creating the profile, I accessed it with this sort of link:
/civicrm/profile?force=1&gid=1&search=0

An unexpected thing occurred: the Organization name was listed twice.  I guessed that one is included in the search results regardless of what fields are selected, so I unchecked "In Selector" to remove the second one and then got the error "No fields in this Profile have been configured to display as columns in the listings (selector) table."  So it would seem it is not possible to display a list of names only?

On a related inquiry, is it possible to suppress the "Displaying contacts where ..." box?  Or is this exceeding the formatting capabilities of the Profile system?  Is there another way to generate such a list?

Thanks,

Hey, thanks.

A documentation thought... I read through the Profile documentation in the Administration section pretty thoroughly (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Profiles+Admin), and it didn't occur to me to jump down to the Development section to define what the profile looks like.  Would it be possible to include a link to this Customize Profile Screens page in the "Profiles FAQ's, How Do I..." section to this theming admin section?  (Or somewhere else, if there's a more appropriate place.)  Of course, if I just missed it and it's actually linked somwhere, maybe I didn't go through it as well as I thought.
