Default domain name or organization name?
May 16, 2014, 08:08:50 am
I'm confused by this: On the Organization Address and Contact Info Page, the text says to enter the organization name that owns this site, but the box itself says, "Default domain name." Does this box take the domain name or the organization name? I.e., 'John Smith Corp' or 'jsmithinc.com'?

I'm unable to see the box you mean on http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/domain&action=update&reset=1

All of the fields requesting names on this page want Organizational name, not domain name.

Agree with Joe that you should be entering organisation names on this page.

However, I can see on the demo site that domain name is mentioned when you access the help.  Demo is running 4.4 and you are on 4.3, so perhaps you have domain name elsewhere as wel which has added to your confusion.

I will look at altering the help text to remove any confusion.

RIght. I just checked with a fresh CiviCRM install and it's the prompt inside the textbox before anything is entered that's misleading.

The install I did that prompted this query was definitely 4.4.

Thanks.
