Hi all!

I am trying to modify the UI for the CiviCase Dashboard, and admittedly, Im not entirely certain yet on how all of the tokens work.

Specifically, I am working on hiding the Case ID, replacing it with the Client Name, and where the client Name currently is, replacing that with the Client's employer.

I found the particular section I need to change in the DashboardSelector.tpl, and figured out how to accomplish 2 out of hte 3 things listed above, but I cant seem to access the client's employer. As I understand it, {$row.sort_name} is referring to the contact table in the database, specifically calling the contact id called in the href function. (could be way off base on that though). my initial thought, after looking at that table, was that I could then access {$row.organization_name}, since it has already defined which row it is looking for previously. The below code is my modified version of the code in DashboardSelector.tpl as it currently stands. I know Im obviously doing something wrong, but I dont yet know what. Ive split the code up into multiple lines here for readability.

<td class="crm-case-phone">
   <a href="{crmURL p='civicrm/contact/view' q="reset=1&cid=`$row.contact_id`"}">
      <!--{$row.sort_name}-->{$row.organization_name}
   </a>

   {if $row.phone}<br /><span class="description">{$row.phone}</span>{/if}<br />

   <span class="description">
      <!--{ts}Case ID{/ts}: {$row.case_id}-->{$row.sort_name}
   </span>
</td>

Thank you for your time.

1. check:

2. Use SmartyDebug and see what values are sent in via row. I suspect org name is not sent in

3. Use a hook:

(maybe hook_civicrm_pageRun) to add organization name for all the rows
