Profile search without listing (solved)
October 21, 2013, 06:50:53 pm
Something I'm missing here?

I just want an anonymous user to be able to use a profile to find only their own record and add/update some custom fields in their record, without seeing any other contacts listed.

I see you can do it the other way round ie suppress search and show listing with force=1 and search=0
but force=0 and search = 1 doesnt work

cheers folks

I love CIVI!

You can email anonymous users a link that looks like the following, that points to a profile where they can update their data, including custom data of course - (where gid is the number of the profile)

http://www.example.com/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=13&id={contact.contact_id}&{contact.checksum}

Thanks Andy
I didn't want to have to email them
But I figured it out - you have to allow profile listings and forms for anonymous users with Drupal ACL  then only allow search permission on the profile at civi acl level.

Only took a few hours! ho hum :)

hmm and anon users can edit their contact that way? seems a bit odd, IMO

Only if they're in the specific group (in this case 20 or so attendees filling out an eval form) to which the profile allows access.

Am i missing a problem?

but anon users and people in a specific group are contradictory statements :) If its an anon user, drupal and civi have no idea who they are. so permissioning is applied for anon users only

if you are relying on permissions to decide what someone can do, by definition that person can not be anonymous. they need to be identified either via a login or a time restricted checksum
