CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have created a Drupal View that shows CiviCRM Contacts. While the View mainly works it has some issues that I can’t quite figure out.

I’m using it to show some standard CiviCRM fields such as ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’ and it’s working fine for that. I’m also using it to show some custom fields that I’ve placed in a Profile. When I go to Views > Fields sometimes that profile is listed and sometimes it’s not. If it’s not then the Fields all show ‘broken handler’. I flush the cache (sometimes numerous times) and the Profile is there and the Fields work and the ‘broken handler’ error goes away. All of the other Profiles that I’ve created are always there, this one is not and I have no idea why that’s the case.

I also have a lot of filters set up on this View as exposed as it’s a directory and I want the user to be able to search on first name, last name, and some of the custom fields that I’ve set up. All that seems to work well. One of the filters that I’m using is not exposed and it filters on a CiviCRM group as I only want members of that group to show up in the directory. This seemed to have worked at one time but now if I remove someone from that group they still show up in the View and even when I remove the contact record from CiviCRM, remove it from the Trash, and flush the cache, the record still shows up in the View yet the record does not exist anywhere that I can find. This is rendering the View almost useless and I can’t get these old contacts out of it. Any suggestions?
