Default Website Types
March 10, 2014, 08:26:14 am
We (JMA Consulting) have made a small enhancement to core so that more than one Website Type can be exposed in a profile (http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-9288).

We'd like feedback on the current list of Website Type options that are provide by default in the tarball. Currently included are:
Home
Work
Facebook
Twitter
MySpace
Main

I would like to remove Home (rarely if ever used in my experience) and Main (a confusing way to indicate which site is preferred). I do not propose to remove them on upgrades, just on new installs.

And I would like to add some other major social media accounts that people would have, again, only on new sites rather than on upgrades. Here's my suggested list:
Google+
LinkedIn
Pinterest
SnapChat
Tumblr
Vine

Note that the currently popular 2014 social media properties will likely not be the same in 2015 and 2016. I'd like the list to be able to remain relatively unchanged for a couple of years.
