CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

One of our customers wants a customization:

• they only want to use the prefixes Mr. and Mrs. (in Dutch though)
• they want to set this prefix automatically based on the gender

This is what we have done to get this:

• modify the template CRM/Contact/Form/Edit/Individual.tpl to make the prefix readonly
• use the hook pre to set the prefix with this bit of code:

   
function eecustom_civicrm_pre( $op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef ) {
   
    if ( $objectName == "Individual" ) {
if ( $op == "create" || $op == "edit" ) {
switch ( $objectRef['gender_id'] ) {
case 1:
$objectRef['prefix_id'] = 1;
break;
case 2:
$objectRef['prefix_id'] = 2;
break;
default:
$objectRef['prefix_id'] = 0;
break;
}
}
}
}




I had the request the other way around (set the gender based on the salutation).

Will try to wrap it in civix love as an extension end of the week

I think we should build that in as a CiviCRM default! Hey you is certainly good enough for us :-)
