Hi,

A) In this post,http://connections-pro.com/support/topic/changing-defaults-in-manage-and-add-entry/#post-373294
What would the snippet be to make the default entries Individuals? I see where to change text/name but what is the ID for Individual entries?

B) We want to globally hide or remove several extra fieldsets we are not using for members (Logo, Messenger IDs, Social Media IDs, etc). Not from the Form extension but from within their user area completely when they login and update info.

I understand about Screen Options but too hard to explain this to all the members and prefer to only have displayed what will be used.
I see here in 2015 this is not an option:

Is there a way now to remove/hide fieldsets completely?

Thanks,
John

re: What would the snippet be to make the default entries Individuals?

The default for a new entry is an Individual, there is no need to make any changes. Am I misunderstanding the question?

re: I see where to change text/name but what is the ID for Individual entries?

Sorry, but I do not understand. Could you give more details?

re: We want to globally hide or remove several extra fieldsets we are not using for members (Logo, Messenger IDs, Social Media IDs, etc). Not from the Form extension but from within their user area completely when they login and update info.

Well, they could be unregistered, but that would also remove it them from Form but it already has options to hide and rearrange the fieldsets. Here’s the code snippet to remove Logo, Messenger IDs, Social Media IDs:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'cn_remove_metaboxes' );

function cn_remove_metaboxes() {

    cnMetaboxAPI::remove( 'metabox-logo' );
    cnMetaboxAPI::remove( 'metabox-messenger' );
    cnMetaboxAPI::remove( 'metabox-social-media' );
    cnMetaboxAPI::remove( 'metabox-logo' );
}

The one thing I am uncertain of is how this will affect Connections when adding/updating entries. The one thing that I am pretty certain is if an existing entry has data on one of these and it is then updated, that data will be “lost” because removing these will have the same effect (on submission) as removing the data when editing an entry. Depending on your needs, this may not even be an issue.

Hope that helps!

Ok ignore my question about setting default to Individuals & ID for Individuals.

Removing the fieldsets with your snippet worked great.

Would there be a snippet I could add to remove “Organization” from the radio button in the admin area? Not the Organization field name but the Organization Directory type? We want only Individual types and are concerned that a user will go change this radio button to Organization but we are not using that.

Thanks,
John

Here’s the snippet:

function ottomek_link_entry_types( $atts ) {

    $atts['entry_type'] = array( __( 'Individual', 'connections' ) => 'individual' );

    $atts['default']['type'] = 'individual';

    $atts['default']['visibility'] = 'public';

    return $atts;
}

add_filter( 'cn_admin_metabox_publish_atts', 'ottomek_link_entry_types', 11 );

Hope that helps!

Thank you, that worked great.

It’s very helpful to be able to remove as many unused items as possible to help the member users not get confused or overwhelmed.

Hi,

I have several more fieldsets that the client wants removed but I don’t think cn_remove_metaboxes snippet you gave me is going to work. What kind of snippet do I add to remove these completely from the Member Entry/Directory edit area?

A)”Title”, “Organization” & “Department” in the Name area? (Using Individual type only)

B) Remove the Latitude & Longitude fields from all Addresses.

C) Remove “Preferred” radio button from all Address, Email & Phone fields

Thanks.

Correct using the cn_remove_metaboxes snippet will not work in this case. What you have to do is hide those fields using CSS.

[ottomek]

Yes CSS and display: none worked good.

.cn-metabox#cn-metabox-section-title, .cn-metabox#cn-metabox-section-organization, .cn-metabox#cn-metabox-section-department {
display: none!important;
}

.preferred {
display: none!important;
}
