Is there a way for an individual letter to not print an address line (token) if the value is blank? Some addresses use less lines than normal. Hopefully there is some kind of 'if blank skip' option.

I took a look at the config file for DomPDF located at /sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php according to it you can embed php into the code.

I'm not sure how to evaluate the existance of the Second Address line but something like the following:

Code: [Select]

{contact.individual_prefix} {contact.first_name} {contact.last_name}<br />
{contact.street_address} <br />
<script type="text/php">
 if ({contact.supplemental_address_1} != null) { {contact.supplemental_address_1}<br /> }</script>
{contact.city}, {contact.state_province} {contact.postal_code}

Maybe someone who is better with php and CiviCRM can help with how to get the evaluation to work.

Check out the way the page formatting is done here

http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/setting/preferences/address&reset=1

I'm think you may be able to do

{
}

in the same way that {, } is used on that page - check the help notes

If you mean do something like:

<code>
{contact.individual_prefix} {contact.first_name} {contact.last_name} 
{contact.street_address} 
{contact.supplemental_address_1} { }
{contact.city}, {contact.state_province} {contact.postal_code}
</code>

OR

<code>
{contact.individual_prefix} {contact.first_name} {contact.last_name} 
{contact.street_address} 
{{contact.supplemental_address_1} }
{contact.city}, {contact.state_province} {contact.postal_code}
</code>

Neither of those work.

hey,

I guess you didn't see this blog post: http://civicrm.org/blogs/michael-mcandrew/creating-address-block-token

This'll find its way into core some time soon but in the mean time installing that as a drupal module is the way to go IMO.

Ahhh Michael, Thank you!

No my search did not return that for some reason.

Thank you
