[SOLVED] address template

Hi,

i would like to display correct information on my address template and for that i was thinking to test first if data are available, if not, i do not display anything.

for example, if user typed 2 addresses (1 for company, 1 personal), i want firstly to test if 1 address is has a company name, so i was thinking to use the following code:

<?php if($this->address_company){ ?>
    <tr><td>Company:</td><td>{address_company}</td></tr>
  <?php }; ?>

Ok, so as i have a custom field call "address_entity_type" that is equal to "Person" (in case it's a personal address) or "Company" (in cas it's a business address).
in the address_template view i created a test before to determine which type of address it is.

<?php
$entity = JText::sprintf('%s','{address_entity_type}');
?>

<table class="address_4_rogtek">
  <tr><td>Entity Type: <?php echo $entity; ?></td></tr>
  <tr><td>Matches: <?php echo preg_match("/Company/",$entity,$matches); ?></td></tr>
  <?php if($matches > 0)
    {
  ?>
    <tr><td>Company: {address_company}</td></tr>
    <tr><td>{address_vat}</td></tr>
    <tr><td>{address_trading_chamber_number}</td></tr>
  <?php  }; ?>
  <tr><td>{address_title} {address_firstname} {address_lastname}</td></tr>
  <tr><td>{address_street}</td></tr>
  <tr><td>{address_post_code} {address_city}</td></tr>
  <tr><td>{address_state}</td></tr>
  <tr><td>{address_country}</td></tr>
  <?php echo "<tr><td>".JText::sprintf('TELEPHONE_IN_ADDRESS','{address_telephone}')."</td></tr>";?>
</table>
<?php
  unset($entity);
?>

Hi Nicolas,

i this case i would like to know how do you solve thecurrent situation:

1.user has 2 different addresses (1 for company and 1 for personal usage) with both different custom fields.
2. when addresses are displayed as some fields are empty, there are a suite of <br /> tags which only create a move of next information downward.
If you tell CSS to not display <br />, the complete address is a simple line of all fields concatenated and not readable

Q: how do you cope with that ? Maybe i missed the point but when i display an address, i'm pleased when it's clear and readable, so each field as it's own place and no "blank space" (<br /> tags without field data) which create a downward move as in the attachment.

I found how to cope with it.
i paced everything in different <span> tags and in 1 single line to avoid <br />
Now it works as i wanted.
