Hi,

My clients want to be able to put a note for the "Phone" field for an organization indicating who that phone number belongs to in the organization. For example, a phone number of 555-123-4567 might have the note "Secretary", while a second phone number for the same 555-123-7890 might have the note "President."

I'm happy to do some hacking, but I'd have to know where to look to add this.

I'm on CiviCRM 1.9.

Thanks!

this is a pretty involved change and u'll need to hack quite a few tpl files and templates. here are some of them:

1. add a note field to the xml/schema/Core/Phone.xml file and rebuild the mysql (which also generates the DAO)

2. add code to Core/BAO/Phone.php, Core/BAO/Block.php to set/get the note field

3. change the Edit/View screens to display the phone note if present

in 1.9, phone is under location which is under contact you'll need to follow the code to find out other places where you might need to make the change

chat with us on IRC if you need help or assistance. I would advise you to move to 2.0 since the schema has been simplified in this area from 1.9

Thanks Lobo,

I'd love to move to Civi 2.0, but my host (Site5) is, for some unknown and highly embarrassing reason, still on MySQL 4.

I'll have a look at the files you suggested, and will pop on IRC if I get in over my head.

Thanks again!
