How do I remove the Household contact type?
June 03, 2009, 07:38:53 pm
Hi,

I was wondering what the best way would be to remove the household type? I am only just starting to look at the code behind CiviCRM and am hoping that someone else has done this in a maintanable and effective way.

Thanks!  ;)

there is an issue for this here:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4566

if important to you / your org, consider sponsoring the development and/or hiring someone to implement it. This is planned for a future release, potentially 2.3

The way i did it was to go to administer >> customise >> navigation menu
then simply rightclick on it and uncheck "enabled" and its gone

I think the idea behind CIVICRM is not to rewrite it but to use what it can already do to accomplish your objectives.

My problem is trying to change "use household address" to "use organisation address" and get it to query through all the different org addresses for an individual...any ideas or is there another way i can do it?

Whenever I discover how to do something technical, i usually share it here www.digitalquarter.co.uk

Hi,

As you will soon encounter, that's not only about changing the label, but having a different filter so the autocomplete is filled with organizations and not households, and then they are more complex cases like the address isn't updated for all the employees when you change the address of the organisation.

We have been discussing how to properly sort it, but haven't put enough funding together to launch the project.
Do you think you could help in code or in money ?
