Hide/disable household
May 26, 2008, 06:32:52 am
My configuration does not require any households. How can I hide (disable or delete) the households from the administrator?
It would be acceptable if the households is visible for a super-admin and not for (contacts) administrator.

The reason to hide households is usability. It confuses the user to see what is never used.

(Using Civi 1.9 on Drupal 5.x)

You will need to hack the code to accomplish this. I suspect we'll make various contact types optional in a future 2.x release

That makes it clear, thanks.
Than the work-around is to make a mini Drupal-module that removes the link form the with some regex magic.

I have not found a way to disable Household. As Lobo said there is no way. What I needed to do was to avoid confusion and the confusion was caused by the word 'Household' in the standard 'CiviCRM Shortcuts' block. I made a custom Drupal block with the same links, leaving out the New Household link. Soo simple ;)

Hello!

Sorry for raising this thread from the dead. But I am looking to accomplish the same thing (disabling households)  and I am wondering if there is a way to do this now in the latest CiviCRM version.

Thank you for any help!

So how do you actually hide the built in household contact type.
I am new to civi, and have looked around but cannot see a way to disable household (or other built ins)
did it not make it into 3.1 and is now to be in 3.2?

i saw mention that there is a manual way to do. can some please point me in a direction?

thx

There was a post about it some time ago but I can't seem to find it atm.

If I remember correctly, the answer was to disable the houshold type in the database.
In the "civicrm_contact_type" table, set "is_active" to 0.
