Profile "Back to listings" links to unfilled search form not search results
August 10, 2007, 04:50:31 am
In CiviCRM 1.5, after doing a profile search and clicking through from the result listing to the profile detail page, the "Back to listings" link on the detail page took one back to the result listing page. (Link target "/civicrm/profile"). This was intuitive and good.

In 1.7 and 1.8, the "Back to listings" link on the detail page takes one to an unfilled search form. (Link target "civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=N"). This is less intuitive, inconsistent with the link text and less user-friendly: why should users have to re-enter their search criteria to return to the results that they had just been looking at?

I can work around this by changing the link target back to "/civicrm/profile" and I'm pleased to see that CiviCRM now has good options for customising profile templates - good work. But the current default behaviour strikes me as clearly worse than what happened in 1.5, so this is a vote for restoring the former behaviour unless there's a good reason not to.

Cheers,

Dave J

Dave - I think this was an "unintended consequence" of another change. I think the Link target should be "civicrm/profile?force=1&gid=N" - which safely preserves the profile ID and "forces" the search criteria in the session to be reloaded and run.

I'll investigate and post a fix unless I discover some reason this change was made (which i think is doubtful).

Thanks Dave G, I can confirm that /civicrm/profile?force=1&gid=N goes to the desired page.
