Address settings, default new entry to both mailing and physical addresses
July 31, 2010, 05:10:46 am
Hi,

Using Joomla 1.5.18, CiviCRM 3.2

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here because I thought this was possible.  My goal is that each contact, namely organizations, have two addresses (physical and mailing) by default when they sign up (e.g,  I'd like the New Organization form to open with two address entries fields expanded, one for physical address and one for mailing address).  Currently each signup involves entering an address and then clicking the "Another Address" button.   If that's the way it has to be, it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to make it a default.

NOTE: I had CiviCRM 3.1.6 installed and I upgraded to 3.2 in hopes that the Global Setting for "Maximum Locations" would make its return but I still don't see it under Administer-> Global Settings -> Addresses which is where the documentation http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/Address+Settings says it's supposed to be.  But I'm not even sure if that's the setting I want.

Any help is appreciated.

- Rob

the easiest way to accomplish the below is to customize the contact create/edit template and have two addresses be open on load. I suspect its just a small snippet of javascript to do the needful
