Displaying descriptions instead of group names in profile fields
November 21, 2007, 05:44:07 pm
Hi all,

I'm sorry if this is somewhere obvious and I didn't find it when searching...

I would like to display the group description rather than the group name when using group as a field in a Profile. 

Any clues?

Thanks,

You will need to code change to do the below. I suspect it might be a fairly extensive code change since we reuse the functions in a few different places

any specific reason why you want the group description rather than a name? Can you not use a descriptive name?
