Hi,

Can anyone tell me if smarty syntax (IE {if}) can be used in the mailing label format setup in the admin area?

I want to optionally add the organization name to the mailing labels but only when the contact type is 'Organization' (it seems to add the display name of individuals when I add this field when it is blank which then duplicates the individuals name on the label).

The reason for wanting to do this is that we are going to use the custom addressee on organisations to address an named contact but we still want the organisation name to always show on the label.

I tried {if contact.contact_type eq 'Organization'}{contact.organization_name}{/if} but it seems as though it is putting the text on every record.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Lobo,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll add it to my list of things to dig into once I've got my head round the code.

I'll have to jsut add the org name into the customized addressee and have it all on the same line of the label until this feature can be added.

Thanks again,

Dave
