Hiding sections in contact summary?
December 19, 2008, 02:09:57 pm
Is it possible to hide or disable the following sections in the contact record summary:

1) Demographics

2) Communication preferences

I do not need either of these - I've unchecked/disabled them in the Global config admin but they are still showing when I view a contact record.

Additionally can you hide the Send an Email, Phone and Meeting / Other Activities icons?

Using CiviCRM 2.0.6 and Drupal 5.14.

Thanks in advance.

I dont think there are settings to hide it from the contact view screen in 2.0 (in 2.1 we use the same settings as the edit options)

Your best bet is to customize the tpl templates/CRM/Contact/Page/View/Tabbed.tpl and hide those sections. The same goes for the various activity icons

That works - I can hide the sections, but then I get the following pop-up errors whether I comment out or delete those sections in my custom template.  The new template loads with the sections hidden but then these pop-ups show:

showBlocks array item not in .tpl = demographics_show

showBlocks array item not in .tpl = demographics

Where are these block arrays?  What file are they in?  I don't see them in my Tabbed.tpl file.

i would keep two empty divs with those ids in there. easier than modifying the code. The blocks are defined in the corresponding php files

CRM/Contact/Page/View/Tabbed.php, line 296 or so
