#4 Desire change report header and variable shown in report

[Tim]

In the form that is shown after a search:

Search results for search_string
Businesses 1 - 6 of 6
# Summary Action

I would like to change the label "Summary" to "Name".
And, I
would like to change the variable from 'company_title' to
[lastname, ", ",firstname]

The search only seems to show the records that have been
assigned to a fatcat category. Uncategorized records do
not show
company_title, they are merely blank making it
impossible to
distinguish multiple records that match the search
criteria.

This label is controlled by the search module and not my module. You
could make changes there, but I believe it will be site and module wide.

The variable being displayed there is actually 'label'. If you want to change
what is stored in $var label, look around line 972 of /mod/
phpwsbusinesses/class/Business.php and change it to what you want for
a label (used by other mods) to represent each record. For instance, try...
$label = $this->Contact_lastname . ', '. $this->Contact_firstname;

Then to be thorough, use that example to change the label settings around
line 1432 of the same file

This isn't true... at least I can't reproduce it in any of my test installations.

In general, this mod is meant for businesses and the focus is on company
name as the primary identifier in many views. If you are trying to set
something up more focused on the individual, and not the business, you
might want to try the phpwscontacts mod. It was the inspiration and the
starting point for this mod, and shares many features. However, there are
some features in mine you won't find in the phpwscontacts mod.

Good luck,

Thanks for your quick response. I realized now that nothing
was written in the 'label' field because the information was
not saved there by clicking on SAVE from the module. I
simply loaded the records into the phpwsbusinesses database
without populating the 'label' field. After putting in the
proper label information for each record, the SUMMARY report
showed all the pertinent information.

I found that the features in phpwsbusinesses are more akin
to my needs in locating records quickly by inexperienced
users of my site.

Thanks for all your help.
