    Dear Steven,

    Question 1:

    ABC INDUSTRY(Title)
    California (State)

    15, example street
    postcode, CA
    USA

    How do I use the getAddressBlock function to display the preferred state and address?

    Question 2:

    When inputting Address, there is a dropdown list for “Home”, “Work”, “School” and “Other”. How can I make a custom textfield for Other?

    I am asking this because I have 4 addresses that shows “Work” in the address, which looks kind of ugly. So I would like them to display company names instead.
    For eg.
    ABC INDUSTRY (CA)
    Address

    ABC INDUSTRY (TX)
    Address

    ABC INDUSTRY (NY)
    Address

    ABC INDUSTRY (WA)
    Address

    @ James

    The <a href="https://github.com/shazahm1/Connections/blob/0.7.9.1/includes/class.output.php" target="_blank">class.output.php</a> file has extensive phpDoc for most of the methods including <a href="https://github.com/shazahm1/Connections/blob/0.7.9.1/includes/class.output.php#L821" target="_blank">getAddressBlock()</a>

    I suggest review this file and docs…

    Here’s and example to output only the preferred address:

    $entry->getAddressBlock( array( 'preferred' => TRUE ) );

    You can not make a custom field in place of the “other” address type. That is just an option for the for the address type and that field can not be changed easily and I have no idea what would break if you did. Since the address supports 3 lines; what not just use Line 1 as the company name?
