Author Topic: Line feeds in Message Template Addresses (Read 416 times)

Some of our contacts use the supplementary address field and we would like this to show up in the mailing address.

The problem is how to include that extra line feed into the if statement.

So far we have:

Code: [Select]

{$smarty.now|date_format} 

{contact.first_name}{ }{contact.last_name} 
{contact.address_name}{ }{contact.organization_name}
{contact.street_address}{}{if contact.supplemental_address_1}{"\n"}{contact.supplemental_address_1}{else}{} {/if}
{contact.city}, {contact.state_province} {contact.postal_code}

I have tried many combinations of strings to force the line break from searching the web but all either seem to be rendered literally or ignored.

Thanks for any help you can give.

We use a token to put in the mailing block based on the mailing labels https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/tokens/blob/master/address.inc - it doesn't seem to include extra lines.

To make it work you need to install this civitoken module https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/civitoken & then put a folder 'tokens' into your custom php directory (configured under administer/system settings/directories) & put the above file into that tokens folder.

It's a little unwieldly to set up - but I haven't had reason to revisit it
