Custom menu item to view all contacts

[bwaindwain]

To show a list of contacts in CiviCRM you have to click Search, Find Contacts, Find button (3 clicks). Through trial and error, I managed to figure out a url that will give me the same results with one click. Just create a custom menu item with the following url

civicrm/contact/search&force=1&qfKey=0

should add &reset=1 to wipe out previous search criteria

the link should be: civicrm/contact/search&force=1&qfKey=0&reset=1

excellent, that was bugging me

I am using this:
/civicrm/contact/search/basic?force=1&qfKey=0&reset=1

I wonder if there is a difference between mine (above) and yours (below)?
/civicrm/contact/search&force=1&qfKey=0&reset=1

You can do this w/out a custom URL too.

Simply put your mouse in that little searchbox in the civicrm navbar (top-left of your screen), leave it blank and hit Enter. CiviCRM will return all contacts.

I've added the url as a link on the navigation bar at the top ... its a click saver ... one click only instead of one click and one enter!

Wow, I tried to figure out how to get a contact list showing and came to this post through a search on the forum.
Would it be so complicated to implement a list contact menu under the contacts menu?
