Members Directory profile--how to get rid of "Name"?

[canadave]

Hi all,

Just starting out with Civi.  I set up a basic profile for a searchable Membership Directory for our small club.  In the profile, called "Members Directory", I just put Last Name, First Name, and Phone as searchable fields.

If I leave those fields blank, and run the search, it returns all my members as expected.  However, it also includes a field, "Name", as the very first column.  So for instance, it has this type of record:

Code: [Select]

Name                           Last Name           First Name        Phone
Smith, Joe                    Smith                Joe                 xxx-xxxx

How can I set up this membership directory profile so that it doesn't include that "Name" field at the beginning?

Also...I notice that the VERY first column (even before Name) has little icons showing what type of contact it is (Individual, Household, or Organization).  If I hover my mouse over an icon, a big long horizontal black bar appears that's intended to contain some sort of explanatory text I suppose...except it's completely blank.  What is that, and is there any way to disable it?

Currently you cannot remove it without custom template or modifying the template. Below patch should hide the name.

On hovering the contact type icon it should show preview about contact, using contact summary profile. It should not be empty.

We recently upgraded to the most recent release of the 3.4 beta (released on the 6th or 9th) on joomla 1.5

When we hoover over the the contact type icon, we no longer get the summary overview, we get a Edit Search Criteria box pop up, image attached.

This happens with the Front End Listings. On the back end, the Summary Overlay pop up works just fine.

It gets worse.

Now when we click on "View" for any contact in the listing, we no longer get the selected profile view of the selected record, but get the same Search Criteria box, using the profile that is used to publish the listings.

No sure how to make public listings on the sandbox site using drupal, so I do not know how to test this on the sandbox.

Thanks for reporting this. I recreated same on our j1.6 sandbox and have opened an issue:

In terms of usability, I don't think the hover over the contact icon is helpful. I would like to make it very simple for a user to work out what they need to do next.
First they search, then they see the result, then they click on View.

This is of course, just my view.

Kurund, thank you for your patch for removing the Name column.
Could you, or someone else, please tell me how to remove the icon and column please?

thank you

Michael - If you are using the profile on public facing pages, and you verify that the Summary Overlay profile fields visibility is set to User and User Admin, then the hover-over won't appear. However, if you still need to get rid of the contact icon column, you can modify the Listings.tpl file as follows (note the change to add a 'name=' property to both foreach loops, and then using the .iteration value to skip the first item in the column header and row values loops).

Code: [Select]

    <table>
      <tr class="columnheader">
      {foreach from=$columnHeaders item=header name=headers}
        {if $smarty.foreach.headers.iteration GT 1}
        <th scope="col">
        {if $header.sort}
          {assign var='key' value=$header.sort}
          {$sort->_response.$key.link}
        {else}
          {$header.name}
        {/if}
         </th>
        {/if}
      {/foreach}
      </tr>
   
      {counter start=0 skip=1 print=false}
      {foreach from=$rows item=row name=listings}
      <tr id="row-{$smarty.foreach.listings.iteration}" class="{cycle values="odd-row,even-row"}">
      {foreach from=$row item=value name=cells}
        {if $smarty.foreach.cells.iteration GT 1}
        <td>{$value}</td>
        {/if}
      {/foreach}
      </tr>
      {/foreach}
    </table>

Hi Dave
I can't remove the column.
I went back to original code in the listings.tmp and replaced the table with your suggestion.
I think it just shifted the headers to the left?
and the name column is back because I deleted the patch by Kurund.
So starting with the original code, to remove both the icon and the name column, what would the code be?
thank you very much

[Dave Greenberg]

The code above does work for me - make sure you scroll in the code box and handle both the header row and the values rows. If you want to eliminate first TWO columns, then use "GT 2" instead of "GT 1" in both spots. If this is not making sense to you I would suggest spending a bit of time studying the Smarty documentation since it's best that you understand what you're doing if you're making template code changes :-)

Dave,
apologies, I didn't read your message properly.
It works exactly as you said.
thank you very much

Hi,
This is just a feed back (using Joomla 2.5.9 and CiviCRM 4.2.9) :
I have verified that the Summary Overlay profile fields visibility is set to User and User Admin, but the hover-over still appears.
May be that comes since I made the profile listing visible on a public web page (following this doc : http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/Configuring+Front-end+Profile+Listings+and+Forms+in+Joomla!+Sites) ?
Anyway, this code above is still working
Thanks!
