Unable to add new label or change label name
August 25, 2010, 02:03:23 pm
I would like to add a new label type.  So I added the new label to the label.php file, but the label does not display in the "select label" drop down list.  

I then tried editing the label name of one of the existing labels (5161); the new name was not displayed (5161 was still displayed) and when choosing the 5161 label and clicking on the "make mailing labels" button, Civi returns an empty page.

What do I need to do to change a label name or add a new label?  Thanks.....

You will have to modify the code and add new label.

I figured it was hard coded, can you save me some time and tell me where in the code I might find it. 

Thanks

1. Edit CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Label.php

2. Add a new entry to the $label array (line 68 or so)

3. Edit CRM/Utils/PDF/Label.php

4. Add an entry to the $averyLabels matching the entry in pt 2 above

that should be it :)
