Newbie question about how to create new contact

[mrteeth]

When I typie in a name in the "Account Name " field, it populates with the field with other names and it makes it very difficult to enter in another name. For example: I want to name one of my account XYZ schools. Well in the field, it only comes up as XYZ City Schools. I can change it, but as soon as I go to another field, that one goes blank.

Does anyone know how I can disable the auto populate field in the Account Name box?

thx again.

If you want to disable the auto populate on Account Name field and only select Account through Popup, so you need to edit the custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php and add the code:

 'displayParams' => array(
  'readOnly' => true,
), 
  

Inside account_name field definition.

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

Oh my goodness. I actually have to put in those codes? I can try it. Hopefully it doesnt' mess anything up or my boss will kill me.

Thank you.
