How to show the billing address fields in only one line?

[danti]

Hello,

I am trying to have the billing address shown in the Account detail view on only one line.
For how much I try with the Studio, I can't seem to be able to do it.

Is this a code modification or am I just missing some steps somewhere?

thanks,
a.

Address field is a set of 5 fields.
Address field is automatically rendered in DetailView to display in 3 lines.
In order to display it in a single line you need to:

• customize view.detail.php and override function preDisplay to render all address fields into a single one;
• customize detailviewdefs to update the type of address field from 'address' to 'varchar'.

You can customize the address-template en_us.DetailView.tpl in include\SugarFields\Fields\Address\

You can customize the address-template en_us.DetailView.tpl in include\SugarFields\Fields\Address\

Is that really where you would want to customise it? Is that upgrade-safe?

You also can create a new non-db field handle by a function, and in this function you can computed the address informations to be just in one line.

Then you have to update the module detailview layout to replace the existing address field for this custom one.

@All,

thanks for your input.
Now I have been asked to leave it like it is, but convert the billing_address_street field from a single line
field to a HTML textarea field... can anyone point me to the place where that is defined?

thanks a lot,
a.
