adding instructions to fields
April 24, 2007, 12:29:54 pm
I want to add instructions to our address fields to make sure people all enter their address information in a uniform way. I know how to do this for custom data fields but is there a way for me to do this on the data fields allready in the database?

Also is there a way to make those fields required?

From 1.7 onwards you can customize any CiviCRM template to meet your needs. i.e you can add help or change the language etc. You can set your site specific template path under the Global Settings tab. You can read a bit more about this on our blog at: http://civicrm.org/node/152

We'll have a more detailed blog entry on this soon

There is no way to make those fields required without a code change
