mailing labels - suppress local country

[speleo]

Is it possible to have a mailing label format that will print foreign counties but not the local country?

For instance if I'm in the United Kingdom can it suppress adding that to the bottom of the majority of my labels but still add it if the contact lives abroad.

Thanks, Henry

No option to do so in the current code base

You can look at the code here:

CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Label.php

and patch it to meet your needs

thanks Lobo. I had a look at that file already. Will see if I can produce a patch.

OK. Got this working.

Now when you run the mailing label form you get an extra select list called "Suppress this Country on last line of address" (see attached jpg). The list is populated from Administer CiviCRM » Global Settings  »  Available Countries.

Leaving it blank will print all country data. Selecting your country will print all labels as previously but suppress the final local country line.

Would be nice to see this in core.  Do you want me to raise an issue?
