Editing default individual "contact details"
March 25, 2011, 01:38:13 pm
I am looking to modify the default "contact details" section when a user adds an new "individual" contact. I am aware of how to add custom data but in an effort to remove duplicates I would like to start by modifying the default contact details to be what we need them to be.

Example:

The default contact details section gives the user options for middle name and employer. This does not fit the needs of my organization. How would you go about modifying what is shown on this form without hacking the core of Civi?

I prefer using jQuery hide() in a Drupal block, because CiviCRM's code (both .php and templates) remains completely unchanged.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Is there any way to modify the labels to suit your needs instead of just hiding the field?
