CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello all,
We don't register 'communication preferences' as part of our installation and therefore I've disabled it in the edit page of 'site preferences'. However I still have the 4 unwanted fields on my contact summary page. Looking at the CRM/Contact/Page/View/Summary.php page, the
only reference I see is as follows;

//Show blocks only if they are visible in edit form
        require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/Preferences.php';
        $this->_editOptions  = CRM_Core_BAO_Preferences::valueOptions( 'contact_edit_options' );
        $configItems = array( 'CommBlock'     => 'Communication Preferences',
                              'Demographics'  => 'Demographics',
                              'TagsAndGroups' => 'Tags and Groups',
                              'Notes'         => 'Notes' );

Which I guess should mean that I don't see them? Could it be because 1 of the fields is populated (Email format: both) that I'm still seeing this? I'm not sure where this setting has come from but I could go through the database and remove it if it would help.
Many thanks for any ideas.

Hi Kurund,
Thanks for the quick response. It's my first time using custom templates, so following the documentation here's what I've done.

• Created a 'civicrm_templates' directory in my sites/all folder and made it writable
• Created the following directory structure within the above folder 'CRM\Contact\Page\View' and copied the Summary.tpl file to it.
• added the following to civicrm.settings.php "define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '/var/www/vhosts/<mysite>/httpdocs/sites/all/civicrm_templates/' );"
• Removed the following from Summary.tpl

<div class="contact_panel">
                        <div class="contactCardLeft">
                            <table>
                                <tr><td class="label">{ts}Privacy{/ts}</td>
                                    <td><span class="font-red upper">
                                        {foreach from=$privacy item=priv key=index}
                                            {if $priv}{$privacy_values.$index}<br />{/if}
                                        {/foreach}
                                        {if $is_opt_out}{ts}No Bulk Emails (User Opt Out){/ts}{/if}
                                    </span></td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr>
                                    <td class="label">{ts}Preferred Method(s){/ts}</td><td>{$preferred_communication_method_display}</td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr>
                                    <td class="label">{ts}Preferred Language{/ts}</td><td>{$preferred_language}</td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr>
                                    <td class="label">{ts}Email Format{/ts}</td><td>{$preferred_mail_format}</td>
                                </tr>
                            </table>
                        </div>

When I refresh a directory has been created in my custom templates directory alongside CRM called en_US containing lots of sub-directories called %%02 to %%F0, but might changes to the template are not getting picked up.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
