CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I would like to customize the screen at /civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=1234   so that in the title includes city and state in addition to the display name.   If the display name of the contact is "Joe's Flower Shop", then I want to alter the title area to be "Joe's Flower Shop (Chicago, IL) " 

I have looked at modifying the template "CRM/Contact/Page/View/Summary.tpl" and also looked at the hook to modify this screen. But both seem to only deal with the area below the "Actions" button/ribbon.

The HTML element around this item is <h1 class=title>

Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi Sarah,

I didn't think of this when we talked the other day, but if you're interested in using hooks for this, try pageRun().  This page is named CRM_Contact_Page_View_Summary, and you can test for the page name with code like this:
if($page->getVar('_name') == 'CRM_Contact_Page_View_Summary') { ... }
In Drupal, this title is set with drupal_set_title(). Within your hook, you can get the full existing title with drupal_get_title(). 

You'll need to query the database for the city and state, but you can get the contact ID from the $page object itself, with $page->getVar('_contactId').

So something like this will probably do the job:
function example_civicrm_pageRun($page) {
  if($page->getVar('_name') == 'CRM_Contact_Page_View_Summary') {

    $contact_id = $page->getVar('_contactId');

    // use API to get $city and $state
    // you may want to set $comma dynamically depending on whether you have both $city and $state
    // ...
 
    // set the title to the new value
    $current_title = drupal_get_title();
    drupal_set_title($current_title . " ($city{$comma}$state)"

  }
}
I'm pretty sure that will do what you need, though the code's untested of course.

Best luck -- and sorry I didn't think of it sooner.
