CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've been successful at moving or hiding/altering individual fields on the mailing forms (mailing/send....), but how I do remove/consolidate pages? (eg. on one page, I moved most items to an "advanced" collapsed fieldset, but now I want to move an entire page there also or just have preset values and have the page not show up at all in the steps).

That was it, thanks!

Not much to report really. Just didn't want that page. I'm still a little overwhelmed by all this code so not much done yet.

The main reason behind my "tinkering" is to try to make everything a little more usable. Even for someone like myself who's a pretty good Drupal developer/admin (and I learned it all in 3 weeks), CiviCRM is really tough to get a hold of. So I fear for some clients who are technologically challenged.

On these pages in particular there was just a lot of information that I didn't necessarily think needed to be visible (e.g on the first mailing page, I put everything except the first field [the include groups] in a collapsed fieldset). The entire second page IMO didn't really need to be there - could easily have been collapsed with default values set (like how all those extra fields are collapsed on the drupal node/add page) - maybe even the option to limit some steps with ACL so that an intern at company X can easily compose and send a message without all the fluff. (I can already picture a client calling me to walk him/her through the steps of sending emails even after I've showed them 3-4 times and written a manual on how to do everything - then trying it on their own and still messing it up).
