CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

One of the benefits of membership in our organization is the opportunity to be listed on our public website. 

I have been searching for a way to either 1) generate a public list (by member type) that includes Name, City, Website, and 2 custom fields... or 2) have CiviCRM membership data easily bridge into a Joomla Directory Extension such as Mosets Tree or Sobi2.

Anybody have any experience to share?

I would love to see how others are doing this type of thing with CiviCRM on Joomla.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lobo.  Playing with profiles now, I had just managed to find an article in the docs leading me there. 

The primary issue I am having with Profiles is that I want to have the Member Listings displayed without the user performing a search.

The way the profile is behaving for me (when I create a menu using the CiviCRM Profile View menu type)  is that the page displays a search box with no listings as the default.

I am new to Joomla (as well as to CiviCRM), but I have been able to figure out that when the query string includes force=1 then the entire group is displayed.  I just can't figure out how to get that into the query string for the menu item.

Also, how would I go about adding one set of fields for the listings display and a more detailed set of fields for when the user clicks on the "view" link provided by the template?

PS. I think this is awesome software and I look forward to contributing back to the community in whatever ways I can.

in the instuctions for adding a menu item to a contribution page in Joomla 1.5, CiviCRM 3.0 it says...
In the Parameters-Basic section (upper right):

    * Choose CiviCRM Task - select Profile Search and Listings OR Profile Create (for new contact input form).
    * Ignore the Contribution ID field (this is used when creating a menu item for Online Contribution Pages).
    * Enter the Profile ID using the numeric ID value you noted in the section above.
    * Do not modify the Reset field value (it should always be 1).

When I click on the Parameters-Basic section, my ONLY selection is the Contribution Page name only. I DO NOT have an option to choose CiviCRM Task.

Somebody please help.
