Hello,

To keep the contact database coherent, I'd like to add automatic formats. For instance, all the first names should start with a capital letter, and if I create a "XAVIER", it should be formated as "Xavier".

I thought doing that by creating a custom template, and adding a bit of js in it, but I feel that's going to be a pain to maintain. How do you do it ? Any suggestion more than welcome.

The auto formatting can be potentially done in the "pre" hook for contact create, where the POST params are passed to the pre hook by reference

The pre hook has not been used widely, so this experiment might trigger a few more bugs
