moving fields on the New contact page
May 05, 2011, 05:53:04 am
Hi Everyone

I need to change the way that fields are displayed when we click add new contact. I need to move the address information into the contact details box at the top as our users are saying that it will help them with speed on data input. where do i need to go to recode the layout?

Thanks in advance

Chelcone

In addition, I have found that jquery is a tool to easily move fields around.

Thanks for the info guys.

I have now decided that i dont need to move the fields from the address section to the contact information section, all i need to do is make sure that the address section is set to open by default (not collapsed on open). Lobo, it says what to look for in your link but i cant seem to see it in the contact.tpl file and this is where is says that its calling the data from  file, am i looking in the right place?

Thanks

You are looking in the right place, in the CRM/Contact/Form/Contact.tpl a separate file is included for every block? They are in the folder CRM/Contact/Form/Edit and there is for instance and Address/tpl

OK I know where everything I need is now and I understand the way these files work. I am however bashing my head against the wall to find a bit of code to control if the address block is already open on the page load. I have been searching all over and cant find what controls this function. Any ideas where it is?

Cheers

If you are just trying to make sure that the address section is opened at the start, you change the line in CRM/Contact/Form/Edit/Address.tpl:
Code: [Select]
<div id = "addressBlockId" class="crm-accordion-wrapper crm-address-accordion crm-accordion-closed">
to:
Code: [Select]
<div id = "addressBlockId" class="crm-accordion-wrapper crm-address-accordion crm-accordion-open">

I dont suppose you know where i would find the same for address block on the advanced search page? I can find the controller for every section other than address in the CRM/Contact/Form/Search/advanced.tpl file.

Any help would be great :D

Thanks

Not without checking, but you will have to go a little deeper into the templates that are opened with the {include} in the advanced.tpl?

Managed to find the line that expands all boxes in AdvancedCriteria.tpl in :

Code: [Select]
{foreach from=$allPanes key=paneName item=paneValue}
      <div class="crm-accordion-wrapper crm-ajax-accordion crm-{$paneValue.id}-accordion {if $paneValue.open eq 'true' and $openedPanes.$paneName}crm-accordion-closed{else}crm-accordion-open{/if}">
Swapping the last closed and open around opened all the tabs.

Thanks for the assisstance
