Hi

Use this

  
 
'first_name' =>
        array (
            'name' => 'first_name',
            'vname' => 'LBL_FIRST_NAME',
            'type' => 'varchar',
            'len' => '100',
            'unified_search' => true,
            'comment' => 'First name of the contact',
            'merge_filter' => 'selected',     
            
        ),
 
 
'last_name' =>
        array (
            'name' => 'last_name',
            'vname' => 'LBL_LAST_NAME',
            'type' => 'varchar',
            'len' => '100',
            'unified_search' => true, 
            'comment' => 'Last name of the contact',
            'merge_filter' => 'selected',
            'importable' => 'required',
        ),
 
 
    'full_name' =>
        array (
            'name' => 'full_name',
            'rname' => 'full_name',
            'vname' => 'LBL_NAME',
            'type' => 'name',
            'fields' => array('first_name', 'last_name'),
            'sort_on' => 'last_name',
            'source' => 'non-db',
            'group'=>'last_name',
            'len' => '510',
            'db_concat_fields'=> array(0=>'first_name', 1=>'last_name'),
        ),

So, you don't need that code if you are using contact module

Just edit a file ../modules/Contacts/metadata/detailviewdefs.php
And then rebuild templates.

 
'panels' =>array (
   'default'=>array(
...

array ('full_name'),

....
),
