Hi - in the section on the Summary Page under the Contacts name ( and the Edit VCard Print Delete buttons) where it shows people's Tags and their Source and Job Description - can we get it to show certain Smart Groups if the person belongs to them?
If so where does the hacksaw get applied and any hints on how to make a Smart Group be listed if that person is in that group?

I guess you will have to do some hacking for this. Retrieve smart groups using api and then assign it to template for display.

This will be easier in 2.1 since we cache all smart groups in a table. The big issue is the cache may be invalid and/or not yet set (depending on when/how you do it). If you are willing to live with results which are accurate most of the time, chris should be able to add this functionality. We might add it in 2.2 with suitable wording so as not to confuse users

Thanks. We are just trying to come up with some simplified approach so when any contact is 'looked at' one can instantly see if they are a member etc. The other thought I had - given how many tabs we have - would be to have the tabs show differently (maybe full as opposed to greyed out) whenever they actually contain some data. That way one can see at a glimpse if that person has information in these tabs, rather than having to click through them to see what exists.
