Dashlets and dashboard formatting since upgrading to CCRM 4.0.5
August 22, 2011, 10:42:59 am
For some reason, during the upgrade to Drupal 7 and CiviCRM 4.0.5 we have ended up with dashlets on a dashboard that have very annoying extra repeated text.  We're using the built in Garland 7.7 theme (we previously used Garland theme with very minor tweaks).  It seems if this were the case with every Garland theme user, it would have been brought up before.

Every row in every dashlet dashboard report shows in very large text:
1) Last Name, First Name: <actual last name>, <actual first name>, (<??>) where ?? is the number 1 and I have not idea what that is for

Then a row header of
2) Contact Name, Email, Phone (which is what we selected)

Then the actual information pulled from the database below
3)<contact name> <contact email> <contact phone>

#1 and #2 above keep unnecessarily repeating above every row #3 in the dashlet.

We are hoping to get rid of #1 and we only want one instance of #2

It's doing this for many dashboard dashlets based on reports exact same as we had in prior version of CiviCRM...  I can't find anything in the report templates to fix this; do I need to adjust the code in something like ...sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/Dashboard.php?

I looked on the demo site to see if I could replicate and I don't see the issue happening there.
Is there a more CiviCRM friendly theme for version 4.0.5?
Thank you!

Okay, figured out the fix, in case anyone else runs into this issue as some surely might.
Probably can be fixed easily at the database level.
At the user level, go into reports and modify or recreate the desired reports (which will be used to populate the dashboard's dashlets) -- select 'none' under the 'order by columns' and uncheck the 'header' feature.  Then, republish the reports with the dashlet feature turned on, then re-add them into the dashboard if needed.

Does anyone know which database table(s) / field(s) and/or directory files could be modified for this?

I've been looking at the long list of form values in the "reports instance" database table, as well as the dashboard files with code below the CRM directory.
