Customize Search Results
March 26, 2008, 07:03:20 pm
Greetings,

I've got all my contacts imported and I'm starting to roll.

I want to customize the look of the search results.

Specifically, I would like to start by removing some columns I don't need, such as Status, Address, Country, and Phone. I only want those to show up in the details page.

How can I go about doing this? I don't see anything in the settings to customize which fields appear.

Thanks!

Create a new CiviCRM profile with the columns you want.

Mark it as "search results".

When you do an advanced search, select your search results profile.

Excellent! That's great, thanks for your help.

How could I set that to be the default search view for say a Group? I want to link to a search that brings up a Groups members, which I can do by clicking on the Members link in the Manage Groups. How can I affect that display?

There is no easy way to do this. You'll have to customize the template for Manage Groups and send in the additional parameter to specify what "profile id" to use for display. You can just add id=XXX to the url, where XXX = civicrm profile id which you want to use for display

another alternative if you want to make this change for ALL of search is to customize the search template.

You can test for various parameters and make it conditional if you are php/smarty savvy

Thanks for your help Donald.

Are there any example templates out there people have created? I'm new to Smarty and could use a little guidance.

there are tons of smarty templates under our templates/ directory

The smarty documentation is available here: http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/

Yes, I know that there are templates in the directory of the install, but I was speaking more about customized templates so I could see some examples. For example, how to remove a column header - I was able to remove a column on the search but the header still appeared. None of this is clearly documented as an example as far as I can tell.

No, there are no examples specifically for what you are looking for. This post might help you:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,2805.0.html

All the above is basically smarty syntax, so reading the smarty manual might help

jimi, I'm new to this and have been working on custom profile formatting. You may have seen:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,2573.0.html

which got me started. I'll post some code from view.tpl that I'm using to display contact info, with the caveat that it's *very* amateurish. It makes a beautiful profile display though  ;) I removed some identifying labels because the site's not public yet. There are conditional statements to show e-mail addresses only if the user wants them public.

Code: [Select]
{if ! empty( $row )}
{* wrap in crm-container div so crm styles are used *}
<div id="crm-container" lang="{$config->lcMessages|truncate:2:"":true}" xml:lang="{$config->lcMessages|truncate:2:"":true}">
<fieldset>
{*<table class="form-layout-compressed">
{foreach from=$row item=value key=name}
 <tr><td class="label">{$name}</td><td class="view-value">{$value}</td></tr>
{/foreach}
</table>*}
<table class="form-layout-compressed">
{assign var=orgname value='Organization Name'}
<tr><td colspan="4"><center><u><h1>{$row.$orgname}</h1></u></center></td></tr>
{assign var=mission value='Mission Statement'}
<tr><td colspan="4"><strong>{$mission}</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="4">{$row.$mission}</td></tr>
{assign var=orgtype value='Organization Type'}
<tr><td width="15%"><strong>{"Organization Type"}</strong></td>
<td>{$row.$orgtype}</td></tr>
</table>
<p style="background-color:#99CCFF; margin: 0.2em 0em; padding: 0.2em"><strong>Contact Information</strong></p>
<table class="form-layout-compressed">
{assign var=pcontact value='Primary Contact Person'}
{assign var=address value='Street Address'}
{assign var=city value='City'}
{assign var=state value='State'}
{assign var=code value='Postal Code'}
{assign var=country value='Country'}
{assign var=primaryemail value='Primary Email'}
{assign var=displayemail value='Display this Address'}
{assign var=scontact value='Secondary Contact Person'}
{assign var=displaysecemail value='Display Secondary Email'}
{assign var=secondaryemail value='Secondary Email'}
{assign var=phone value='Phone'}
{assign var=fax value='Fax'}
{assign var=website value='Website'}
{assign var=instructions value='Calling/Fax Instructions'}
<tr><td width="20%"><strong>{"Primary Contact"}</strong><br></td>
<td>
{if $row.$pcontact ne ''}
{$row.$pcontact}<br>{/if}
{if $row.$displayemail eq 'Yes'}
{$row.$primaryemail}
{/if}</td>
<td width="20%"><strong>{"Secondary Contact"}</strong><br></td>
<td>
{if $row.$scontact ne ''}
{$row.$scontact}<br>{/if}
{if $row.$displaysecemail eq 'Yes'}
{$row.$secondaryemail}
{/if}</td>
<tr>
<td width="20%" rowspan="4"><strong>{"Address"}</strong></td>
<td rowspan="4">{$row.$address}<br>
{$row.$city}{if $row.$state ne ''}, {$row.$state}{/if} {$row.$code}<br>
{$row.$country}
</td>
<td><strong>{"Website"}</strong></td>

<td><strong>{"Phone"}</strong></td>
<td>{$row.$phone}</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>{"Fax"}</strong></td>
<td>{$row.$fax}</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>{"Calling/Fax Instructions"}</strong></td>
<td>{$row.$instructions}</td></tr>
</table>

</fieldset>
</div>
{/if}
{* fields array is not empty *}

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
function popUp (path)
{
window.open(path,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,left=150')
}
