Merge labels for contacts with the same address
October 14, 2009, 02:37:26 pm
or does it?

A quick test indicates that it uses a single contact name from people with a household address but doesn't merge users with the same address if not a household. Not a big issue but might need some clarification of the intended result.

I suspect that if you are looking at a student community you might have several people at the same address who want separate mailings but a family wants a joint mailing.

Food for thought. I'm hungry..

Can you reproduce this issue on demo.

the merge same address basically does an exact match on the address fields and then modifies the name field to include the names (this is conditional based on the number of matches to that address)

I have tried this on CiviCRM 3.01 and I get the same result as speleo.
It matches the address (exactly, including being case sensitive) but only returns one of the contact names at that address.
I wonder if we should relax the matching conditions somewhat?
I have not tried to reproduce on the demo system but will try.
Thanks
Ryan

if there are more than 2 folks at the same address, it should only give you two names. Can you try tweaking the code at:

CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Label.php, function mergeSameAddress, line 424

thanx
