Hi there,

when adding a new contact, I would like to expand the custom data section by default. Can somebody please point me in the right direction how to accomplish that?

Thank you!

Reinhard.

Cynthia, thank you for this hint!

I edited templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Contact.tpl ... (yes, I know, I should have my own template files instead of editing the original ones ... ...)

...
{* include common additional blocks tpl *}
{include file="CRM/common/additionalBlocks.tpl"}

{* and HERE starts my insert *}
{* http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,5108.0.html *}
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery( function ($) {
        $( '#customData').show();
    });

</script>
{/literal}


This works basically pretty well and is what I want. However, there is one small thing left: the arrow-indicator of the custom data section points to the right (indicating it can still be expanded) - as a result, the meaning of the indicator and the show-status of the section are reversed.

Any idea what else I have to tweak?

Thanks again!

Reinhard.
