user login form.. cleanup and require fields
March 01, 2009, 11:29:13 am
I'm using Drupal 6.9 and civicrm 2.2.1.

When a user fills in the login information for a new account, it automatically gets added to the civicrm contacts screen. Great.

Problem: If the user fills in the form like a lot of people and doesn't use any caps, then the address labels come out looking like a 3 year old wrote them.

How to force (and where?) something like ucwords() or ucfirst() so that the admin doesn't have to go through each record to format addresses when making labels.

Also, can I force it to make addresses (we use a lot of offline mailings) required?

Thanks!!

Missy

You might be able to use the "validate" hook to ucfirst the address strings (if you want the user to fix them before saving) OR the "post" hook to fix them "automatically".

Caveat - not 100% sure how / if our hooks work in standalone installs - someone else can pipe in on this.

RE: required address fields - you should be able to go to the CiviCRM Profile which is used in the new account screen and set required field property (from Administer CiviCRM >> Customize - CiviCRM Profile

standalone hooks are of the form:

standalone_civicrm_pre
standalone_civicrm_post
...

You will need to ensure that the file defining those function is loaded, so you will need to hack: standalone/index.php and require it there. We plan on rectifying this in a future release with a naming and loading protocol

Thank you, both.  I won't have a chance to look until tomorrow, when I will likely be back with more questions, but I appreciate it very much!
