Public search results based on tags
March 24, 2008, 12:12:42 pm
Hi,

I want to list contacts based on tags (one list per tag).

I've read this, and I have indeed a group "public contacts"
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Creating+a+website+member+directory

But I want to have sub listings per tags (page with only public contacts tagged A, page 2 with only public contacts taged B...)

I have quite a lot of tags, that might be added, the ideal solution would be to pass the tag parameter on the url, but I can't seem to be able to do that (civicrm doesn't keep the params as get, but does some voodoo magic with a "qfKey").

I was thinking of creating a custom search (great feature), but can't have a public search result (without being authenticated). Is there a way of forcing that ? Or an easier way of doing it ?

Have you tried using profiles and exposing tags there?

You can then potentially show a listing for the a specific tag by using

civicrm/profile/search?reset=1&force=1&nosearch=1&tag_id=XXX

I think that should work (or come pretty close to working). Can u give it a shot and we can chat on IRC about what needs to be tweaked if needed

The format for passing in a tag id and suppressing the search form is:

http://..../civicrm/profile?reset=1&force=1&gid=1&tag=4&search=0

(this lists contacts tagged with the civicrm_tag.id = 4)

This is "mostly" covered in the later sections of this page on the wiki:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Linking+Profiles

If you checked there and didn't find your answers - feel free to beef up / improve the page / examples.
