external_identifier in advanced search results
January 02, 2008, 12:57:18 pm
I'm new to CiviCRM, so I've spent time digging through the forums and documentation trying to get up to speed.
The project I'm on requires the external_identifier and I would like to include it in the Advanced Search results page.

I managed to add it to CRM/Contact/Page/View/Tabbed.tpl for a single contact but I also need it in the Advanced Search
results.  Not necessarily to query on it, just display it.  Adding $row.external_id to CRM/Contact/Form/Selector.tpl seems
to return an empty string.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to expose the external identifier value to the template. You'll need to make the change in

CRM/Contact/Selector.php, function getRows (line 404). If you need more specific help, please get on IRC
