Author Topic: New Individual (New Contact)Form: Can I adjust relative weights of Field Groups? (Read 935 times)

I'm using CiviCRM 1.9. On the "New Individual" form (and organization, etc.) there are some of the default field groups like "Name and Greeting" and "Communication Preferences", then I have a collection of custom fields and then waaaay down near the bottom is where the rest of the default field groups such as "Primary Location" and "Address" show up. I want the custom fields there, but is there a way to adjust the relative weights so these default field groups at the bottom appear above the custom field groups?

Two options:
1. Use tab(s) for your custom fields (set Display = Tab in the Settings form for the custom data group(s) ). This remove them from the main edit form completely.

2. Create a customized version of the Edit Contact form using the procedure documented here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in+and+Profile+Screens

You'll be making a custom copy of templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Edit.tpl - and just moving these lines down:

Code: [Select]

{* Conditionally insert any inline custom data groups *} 
{include file="CRM/Contact/Page/View/CustomData.tpl" mainEditForm=1}
