Specific search profile for contact types
March 22, 2013, 02:33:43 am
Is it somehow possible to connect a search profile to a specific contact type?

So basically what I would like to have is the following scenario:

Create 3 Profiles used for Search: something like Search-Person, Search-Organisation & Search-Household.
If a user searches for a person then the profile Search-Person should be used automatically for the result table but if the user searches for an organisation then the Profile Search-Organisation should be used.

Any help you be great

werner :

You have an option to search by profile in Advanced Search.

For more details, refer : http://book.civicrm.org/user/current/the-user-interface/searching/

@Yashodha: I already know that and it works great for an advanced user but it would be great to have the connection automatically

I'm assuming u mean when the user picks a contact type or sub-type

you can probably do this via a jQuery snippet and basically add the "profile" field as a hidden field to the form in jQuery

so when a person selects organization, add a hidden field 'id' with value your profile ID for organization
