Views generates a warning when trying to filter on Group membership
January 09, 2013, 01:52:07 am
Using D6 I'm setting up a View to list some contacts from my CiviCRM database. Ideally I'd like to filter by group membership  to show only the contacts that i'm interested in. but when I create the filter "CiviCRM Contacts: Group(s) and specify the group id in the filter.

I then get a warning:
"user warning: Unknown column 'civicrm_contact.group' in 'where clause' query"

This is with CiviCRM 4.1.6. I've hunted around to see if I can see if this is an issue that has since been fixed in a later CiviCRM version, but can't spot anything.

Does anyone know if this a known issue, and if so, what the solution might be. I know that I have used this as a filter successfully on other installations.

Thanks for any input.

I'm experiencing this error (not a warning) on D7 with CiviCRM 4.2.6 as well...

In my case this was resolved by redesigning my View. I originally set up the View as a CiviCRM Contact type view, which seemed sensible given that what i wanted to display was contact data. This gave me the 'unknown column' warning.

I did some reading around and found some useful information, elsewhere on this forum as I recall (although sadly I've not kept the link), which suggested a different approach:

Given that my goal was to display some organisation contact data, and some data from related individual contacts the advice was to set up the view as a CiviCRM Relationship type and specify the relationship/s that I wanted to focus on (in my case employee/employer). I was then able to specify data fields from the contacts on both sides of the relationship, and - most importantly in terms of this thread - I was able to successfully specify filters by Group ID.

This approach may work for you balleyne. It solved my problem, but I still don't understand why the filter based on "CiviCRM Contact(s): Group(s) Group(s)" didn't work as I'd hoped.

Best wishes
