CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

This functionality is provided through CiviCRM "Listings".

Though this blog post is about Drupal, most of the same principles apply for a Joomla implementation:

The new ACL functionality makes limiting the member directory to just members only more achievable.

This link is dead...

Is there any other documentation available on this?

Thank you Donald... you're a peach. I searched the forums and this was the thread that turned up. I would have tried google next.

To make sure we're speaking the same language :-) ....

Does "all members in the database" mean "all the contacts you have entered in CiviCRM" ?

The term "users" in the context of CiviCRM and Joomla specifically means folks who have a Joomla login. You can have CiviCRM "contacts" in a smart group but they may or may not have a Joomla user record.

So... if you're simply trying to create a page that spits out all CiviCRM contacts as a list....
* You don't need a smart group
* You use a profile as described in the wiki article - BUT you add the following to the URL to make the profile FORCE a "search all" and to hide the normally displayed search form:

&force=1&search=0
This technique is described in the "Listings without Search Forms" tip on this page:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Linking+Profiles

... and you can see a sample Joomla-style URL and page on our Joomla demo:

http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile&gid=1&force=1&search=0

A quick search for profile+listing+group gave me this = http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Creating+a+website+member+directory

basically you'll need to set up a smart group which includes all people with your desired membership characteristics - should do it, if i understand what you are aiming for

I got this all working... have my lists worked out so thank you.

But (for me at least) the lists are only visible if you are a logged in user. Is this something I did?

My Groups Visibility is set to: Public User Pages and Listings so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Ok, I got that figured out now. It's visible for all users.
Right now the "Directory" lists 4 fields about the user (First Name, Last Name, City, State).
At the end of each row there is also a link to "View" which lists the same fields but just for that specific user.

I need help adding more fields that are only displayed in the "View"  section for REGISTERED USERS.
 * I know that if you add a field and don't select it to be "In Selector" or "In Results Column" it will not show up in the Directory page and only in the "View" page.

Eg. I want the e-mail of the user to only be seen by other registered users.

So, for the "Email" field I set it to "User and User Admin." But only "USER A" can see "USER A's" email. What setting is required for "USER B" to see "USER A's" email? The "Public User Pages" and "Public User Pages & Listings" don't create this permission. Any suggestions?

( I know an alternative would be to create a 2nd identical profile and than restrict access to that link based on the CMS's restrictions.. but I don't think I should have to do that.)

Thanks for any help.
