Dashlet Contact Name doesn't link to record

[simonium]

Hi there,

My client had a problem that I was able to fix with a small core hack, but I was wondering perhaps if anyone knew a better way to fix it.

Basically the names of contact's in the report Dashlet's on the user's home dashboard no longer linked to the contact's record.  this only happened after they upgraded to 3.4.8.

I fixed by adding a line of code to the file : sites/all/modules/civicrm/templates/CRM/Report/Form/Layout/Table.tpl

The line of code is :

{elseif $field eq 'civicrm_contact_sort_name'}
    <a href="index.php?q=civicrm/contact/view&reset=1&cid={$row.civicrm_contact_id}">{$row.$field}</a>

And it was added between line 125 and 126.


If anyone knows of a more elegant solution that doesn't need a core hack, that would be preferable, thanks in advance . . .
