Author Topic: CiviCRM CCK Contact Reference only shows 10 contacts (Read 1040 times)

I have a CiviCRM contact reference field on a Drupal content type, I can then use the reference to pull some contact info and display it in the template file. Nice.

It's working but on the drupal node edit screen the contact reference field dropdown only shows around 10 contacts (out of hundreds) and even the ten aren't in alphabetical order.

I can't find settings for this - are there settings? I'd like to get *all* CiviCRM contacts available in the dropdown and have them displayed in alpha order.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

maybe try using this hook:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmcontactListQuery

however not sure if the jQuery widget used has a limit on number of entries it displays

Note that in general displaying ALL contacts will not scale for any reasonably sized db

Thanks Donald, I've changed it to an auto-complete field as there were several hundred entries and that works even without the hook changes.

However I'm still going to use the hook to limit selection to only 'organization' members.

Thanks for the help!
