Author Topic: [SOLVED] Add a list button to tagset fields (Read 380 times)

Hello,

I want to have a button next to the field for a tagset (e.g. on the "new contact" page) to display all the existing tags.
Because if you don't have an overview of the tags, some will call the activity "cooking" and some will call it "kitchen" and another person enters "helping in the kitchen"...
This way there will be multiple tags for the same thing. :/

What would be the best way to implement that?
(What hook can I use? How could I display the tags (Javascript alert is not the best idea, I think)?...)

Thanks in advance,
TeNNoX

Solved:
I added this:

to customtemplates\CRM\common\Tag.tpl at the very beginning after <label>{$tagset.parentName}</label>

It's not perfect, but it works

In 4.5 tagsets use the new EntityRef type field which supports setting minimumInputLength to 0, which would result in the select box popping open and showing all available options without the user typing any letters. We do that for e.g. the events list on the backend "New Participant" form.

Regarding your code, you do not need to include a separate copy of jQuery, CiviCRM already ships with that. You can access it as cj in 4.4 and CRM.$ in 4.5.
