CiviCRM Help
June 04, 2009, 07:17:23 am
Hey Hi

I am using joomla 1.5.9 and civicrm 2.2.5 and need to create a profile that lists my contacts as in only for users to view them. After creating the profile and linking it to a menu i get the following error message:

Sorry. A unrecoverable error occured.

Could not find the required contact id parameter (id=) for viewing a contact record with a profile.

So where am i going wrong. This is the first time i am using the combination. Any documentations apart from the wiki that can help me?

First - does this Profile work from the administration login? To access a profile for search / listing of contacts from admin side, use a URL like this:

http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile&gid=1&reset=1

Also does a direct URL call for front-end work, something like this (replacing w/ your site):

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

Assuming this is working, how did you construct the front-end menu item (what steps in Menu Manager)?

Tx let me try and see what comes up. Anyway i used the normal way of creating joomla menus. Went to menu>new>civicrm>profile>profile view>and then choose the profile from the drop down. What happens if the links u have given me dont show the profile?

You should select CiviCRM -> Profile -> Search if you want to have a searchable directory / listings page. The "View" option requires a contact ID (since it's for viewing a particular contact record). I think that will only work for authenticated (logged in) users - and then should show the contact info for the contact which is connected to the logged in user. Make sure you've run Administer CiviCRM >> Synchronize Users to Contacts if you want to use this option.

Thanks Dave by the way what you suggested first worked and i used the external link menu option and the profile shows the search. Know i want to know if you can just have the profile to only list the contacts and have the search like displayed on the right hand side of the profile listing my contacts.

Secondly i can use my profile to search and after that it lists the contacts now when i click on the view link to view the contact details i get an error message:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

One of parameters (value: ) is not of the type Integer

I need to find out the different type of inputs for the organisation fields. As in the formatting because if i try to input my contacts (see: listf.csv attached) i get the error above viewing the contact on the frontend after the search.

Also is there a way in which one can download profiles and then configure them in a different site?

can u ensure that your host names are all the same, i.e. www.example.com or example.com

and not a mixture. Make sure u redirect one host to the other (in .htacess or httpd.conf). If not sure how to do this, do a web search :)

Hi I also have this problem.

The steps I took were to create the profile then in the joomla main menu add an internal link > component civicrm > profile > search > [name_of_profile].

This created a menu item with the url /index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Profiles&layout=search&Itemid=59

Which gives anonymous users

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
Could not find the required contact id parameter (id=) for viewing a contact record with a Profile.

Authenticated users get to see there own record details.

However if I use the url (combo of joomla and drupal civi paths guessed at by myself)

/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&gid=7

Anonymous users get to see the profile of all civi contacts in this group.
Likewise registered user get exactly the same view of all contacts.

Am I doing something wrong on the joomla menu item creation? Also how using the joomla method item would I be able to get registered users to edit their own details?

Many Thanks
