CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am currently using the CCK-CiviCRM integration and have some custom content types that have a field of type CiviCRM Contact (Individual). This is working as expected. However when the end-users are creating a new node and are typing in the contact field, the autocomplete/suggested matches is only showing the sort name of the individual.  This is confusing for the end-user as there are many common names in the database, such as 3 John Smiths.   

I would like to display extra data to the auto-complet/suggested matches, such as city, state and email address.  What would be the preferred approach to doing this? Either quick-and dirty or an elegant approach that would be safe during upgrades.    I have been investigating the code in the cck module that is part of CiviCRM, but I am not sure which function to start changing, or even if this is the best approach.

(I am running CiviCRM version 4.2.7 under Drupal 6)
