Address formatting

Question

I'm trying to find a way to change the address format in CiviCRM, to the Australian address format. I've had a good search but can only find this these from 5 years ago.

https://civicrm.org/blog/erikhommel/street-parsing

I want to be able to have the items in separate fields when importing and adding contacts. Eg:

{apartment or unit} {street number} {street name} {street type} {city} {state} {postal code} {country}

Here is an example if that helps. https://www.imgur.com/a/ZhWVtAD

Any advice would be appreciated.

Kind Regards Scott

Answer 1

To enable CiviCRM storing in separate addres fields you have to tick the box for Steet Address Parsing in Administer>Localization>Address Settings. I do not know for certain if this will allow you to import into separate fields but I would expect so.

If you want your own specific format or additional fields you will have to make changes in the code, here is an (old) example: https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.streetformatnl

Answer 2

You could try the l10naddress extension by Megaphone Tech which appears to be aimed specifically at meeting this need for regionalised address formats.
