CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hey - while trying to track down some way to get Rules tokens to work better with CiviCRM contact reference fields, I discovered that one cannot choose '(raw) contact_id' as a field formatter option. So I added one. I haven't created patches for CiviCRM Drupal files before, so the attached is a simple diff [old file] [changed file] > filename.patch, to be applied to civicrm_contact_ref.module - and clear caches, of course. Now, in addition to choosing 'Title (link)' and 'Title (plain)', one also gets 'CID (raw)'.

Is this a stupid idea?

Thanks, Lobo. Done: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11510

I cleaned up the labels for the formatters (Contact ID instead of CID), and added both a formatter linked to the contact page as well as the original raw cid.
