Changing default search profile
December 15, 2008, 04:15:25 pm
Hi there,

I've seen a few posts explaining how you can override the default columns returned for a contacts search on a per-search basis, but none explaining how you might go about overriding it and setting a default for all searches.

I'd be happy to override the column definition for "default view" (if and where they are defined somewhere) or set each/all of the different searches to point to a custom profile rather than "default view" profile - whichever is easiest.  I searched the code for things like "uf_group" but couldn't get anything working.

Thinking bigger, it would be good to have the ability to set the default search columns somewhere in global settings / site preferences and am happy to write that up as a feature request (what's the process there?  is it better to propose it here first, or just go ahead and request it on Jira?)

The default view is hard coded and is not a profile (the profile search view came in a much later release). As such there is no "UI" way of changing the default for all contact searches though a code way might be quite easy and probably just involve changing line 402 of CRM/Contact/Form/Search.php from

Code: [Select]
        $this->_ufGroupID       = CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve( 'id' , 'Positive', $this );

to

Code: [Select]
        $this->_ufGroupID       = CRM_Utils_Request::retrieve( 'id' , 'Positive', $this, false, $YOURDEFAULTPROFILEID );

I just tried it and it worked :). Moving $YOURDEFAULTPROFILEID to the config object / database is relatively easy. Wanna file an issue. We'll target it for 2.3

You can also send in the id parameter to specify a default profile. thus:

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/search/basic?reset=1&force=1&id=1

gives you a search listing with the display controlled by profile id = 1

Great that worked perfectly.  Have filed an issue (http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3945).

Also got me thinking about a more general admin settings hook similar in nature to drupal's admin settings hook that provides ability to add settings to the Civicrm admin pages.  I have also suggested that Jira (http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3944).

The fix works great when I'm logged in as admin, but if I log in as another user with less access I get an error along the lines of

Quote
The requested Profile (gid=5) is disabled OR it is not configured to be used for 'Profile' listings in its Settings OR there is no Profile with that ID OR you do not have permission to access this profile.

Any idea how I can fix that? Using 2.2 with Drupal 6.11.

hi,

You might want to give "profile listings and forms" permission to authenticated user.

That url parameter help me to… Just wondering are there any 'comprehensive' guides to url parameters, they're often quite helpful.

I can start compiling if not…
