Emily - This is a bit tricky because the collapse vs. expand states are controlled via showBlocks and hideBlocks arrays that are passed into a jscript function by the PHP code. However, you can hack it in your custom tpl by adding two additional lines which "reverse" the show and hide states for the 2 commPrefs div's:

Note the hide() and show() lines I've added to the existing init_blocks function in Tabbed.tpl below:

{literal}
 <script type="text/javascript">

   init_blocks = function( ) {
{/literal}
      var showBlocks = new Array({$showBlocks});
      var hideBlocks = new Array({$hideBlocks});
{literal}
      on_load_init_blocks( showBlocks, hideBlocks );
      // Added next 2 lines to reverse the show and hide states for commPrefs blocks
      hide('commPrefs');
      show('commPrefs_show');
  }

  dojo.addOnLoad( init_blocks );
 </script>


I'm back at it. Need to do this same task in 3.0.

Summary: When editing a contact in 3.0, I need the 'Custom Data' tab to be auto-expanded. I know there is a 'expand all fieldsets' link, but my organization only wants Contact Details and Custom Data expanded by default.

I've tracked the tpl form and think I'm supposed to make a change on CRM/Custom/Form/CustomData.tpl

Looking at my previous instructions on the wiki, I was trying to add the hide/show code. However, I can't find how I would address showing ALL the custom data as one big set...it looks like each set of fields now has its own hide/show prefs in the template? Basically, I'm just confused on how to do it in 3.0...suggestions?

hey xavier

thanks...but that is giving me smarty errors when i apply that code to the top of CRM/Custom/Form/CustomData.tpl

No matter which div (the full group or an individual set of fields) I put in it gives these 2 errors.

    * user error: Smarty error: [in CRM/Custom/Form/CustomData.tpl line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $( '#customData').show(); (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446) in /home/stoneran/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1094.
    * user error: Smarty error: [in CRM/Custom/Form/CustomData.tpl line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590) in /home/stoneran/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1094.

 

thanks; that gives away how little i know about smarty....works great.

This seems to break every time I upgrade...now I'm on 3.1. My div id is 'customData'. I updated my tpl file to use the 3.1 file, and I saw that if I put the code:
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery( function ($) {
        $( '#customData').show();
    });

</script>
{/literal}
in CRM/Custom/Form/CustomData.tpl then the javascript was getting put after the div. So then I moved it to CRM/Contact/Form/Contact.tpl and I now see it loading at the top of that page, but it's still not expanding my custom data fieldset by default. Do I need updated jQuery code or something?
