removing household contact type
September 19, 2012, 01:39:41 pm
We want to remove the 'household' contact type.  We removed it from the navigation menu, but it's still in the 'create new' options.  I see others have done this by setting the 'is_active' field to zero for the household contact record - what's the best option for CiviCRM 4.1.2?

Thanks for any input,
Paul N.

Have you tried that approach? Seems simplest.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

Sorry about the bump, but where can I find the code for households? Is it the civicrm.config.php file? Can someone please post more details about this method?

Thanks

i think they are just talking about in the database
civicrm_contact_type
change the is_active from 1 to 0

you can't do it through the UI - you need to get access to the database eg using phpmysql or sequel pro or whatever tool will give you access to the DB directly - sorry I doubt i can be more helpful than that
