Is there a way to display the Unique Contact ID number for a contact, ideally as part of a contacts summary page?

The only place I can see it when using CiviCRM is as part of the URL.

Thanks

version 1.6 does this already. Look at the bottom of the page just above "Powered by CiviCRM".

We are currently using v1.5, so sounds like as soon as v1.6 is out of beta we will be OK.

Although if there is a way to enable this in v1.5, I'd be glad to hear about it.

The reason for this requirement, is so we can use a contact's unique ID to match data in other offline databases.

Thanks

The value is present in the template and used in quite a few urls in the display. i dont think it is exposed as a number even in 1.6. You'll have to hack your install to do so

Quick follow-up, I followed lobos advice and made my first attempt at hacking the template (backing it up first of course).

I viewed the source of the Contact Summary page and found it was generated from the template CRM/Contact/Page/View/Basic.tpl .

I opened this file (I use JoomlaXplorer) and changed the line:
Code:
<label>{$displayName}</label>
to
Code:
<label>{$contactId} | {$displayName}</label>


So the contact ID now shows on all contact pages along with the display name.
