Hi, I have a plain vanila install of Xampp, Joomla1.15 and civicrm 2.2.5 (with fix CRM-4651) on a windows Vista laptop. I cannot get a search screen to work in Joomla. Search works OK in the civcrm admin screens. I get a message stating that the fields are not searchable. When I view the Supporter profile the Searchable? field is set to No for all fields. But when I edit the field. There is no check box visable, or anything refering to search for me to change. When I "Edit Profile Settings" the "Used for Search Results" check box is checked.

How can I make a profile work in a search in Joomla?

Thanks for your help, Mike

I would recommend to read http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Profiles+Admin.

Or read this chapter (there's stuff on searching with profiles in it and it's a really good intro to profiles in CiviCRM)

Problem solved:

To make a profile fields searchable change the Visibility ComboBox to "Public User Pages and Listings". The Searchable checkbox is then displayed and can be checked.
