How can I print render just location city in teaser view

Question

Drupal 7

I am attempting to print just the city value within the location array.

I have created a content type with location and created a custom node template node--content.tpl.php. Inside of my if ($teaser) statement I have the following code:

hide($content['field_event_location']);
print render($content)

Which effectively hides the full field_event_location and renders all other content listed in the display settings of drupal 7 admin. I am attempting to render the city field with the following line:

print render($content['field_event_location']['und'][0]['city'])

I used

print_r($content);echo 

to print the array with the following results:

[field_event_location] => Array
    (
        [und] => Array
            (
                [0] => Array
                    (
                        [lid] => 167
                        [street] => 4501 Main Street
                        [additional] => 
                        [city] => Kansas City
                        [province] => 
                        [postal_code] => 64130
                        [country] => us
                        [source] => 3
                        [is_primary] => 0
                        [province_name] => 
                        [country_name] => United States
                        [email] => 
                        [phone] => 
                    )

            )

    )

I did some basic de-bugging I found from this post (How to print render Location's sub-fields?), and was able to print render($content['body']) as well as get the full location output from print render($content['field_event_location'])

Answer 1

The dirty way is : don't user "render".

Just print it:

print $content['field_event_location']['und'][0]['city'];

Answer 2

Have you tried to grab the data from the node? Try this:

print $node->field_event_location['und'][0]['city'];
