How to put a comma between city and state in addressfield display?

Question

I'm using the addressfield module with Drupal 7.10. I want a comma after the city name when displaying the addressfield. Currently addresses display like:

123 Main St
SomeCity California 90100 

I want it to display like:

123 Main St
SomeCity, California 90100 

(Note the comma after "SomeCity")

How can I achieve this?

UPDATE

This whole formatting of addresses is still shrouded in mystery for me. I'm starting to think the way to control the formatting is to create a custom ctools plugin. I found this api documentation:

http://api.drupalhelp.net/api/addressfield/addressfield.module/group/addressfield_format/7

I'm going to explore it.

Answer 1

Sure you can, but this needs some PHP skill.

Basically, you're going to override theme function responsble for rendering this field, which is theme_addressfield_container() in this case.

From function's declaration in theme_addressfield_container() you can see that all address attributes are being imploded. You can easily override this function to get the result that you want.

Answer 2

Open your theme folder, Put this code in template.php

<?php
// Putting comma between City and State of address field
function YOUR_THEME_NAME_addressfield_container(&$variables) {
  $element = $variables['element'];
  if($element['#title'] == 'City') {
    $element['#children'] = trim($element['#children']) . ',';
  }
  $element['#children'] = trim($element['#children']);
  if (strlen($element['#children']) > 0) {
    $output = '<' . $element['#tag'] . drupal_attributes($element['#attributes']) . '>';
    $output .= $element['#children'];
    $output .= '</' . $element['#tag'] . ">";
    return $output;
  }
  else {
    return '';
  }
}
?>

You're correct that Addressfield uses Ctools plugins.

I suggest you take a look How does one create a new Ctools plugin (content type, access, etc)? where I show how to create new plugins.
