I have recently discovered Admidio, and I am really pleased with how easy it was to install and get working. We have a small hobby club, and I think this program will prove to be ideal for our us, so Thanks for developing it.
Since we live in Canada, we have a slightly different convention to display a person's mailing address, where the Postal Code is placed AFTER the City. In the form to create a new member, the Postal Code field is placed before 'Town' (City, for me). Should I simply re-label these two fields so that they 'print' in our desired format, or is there a way to modify the code to display these two fields reversed?
Also, can I simply re-name 'Town' to be 'City' without breaking anything?
The desired order, would like something like:
FirstName LastName
Address
City, Province
Postal
Thanks!
How to re-order fields?
Re: How to re-order fields?
Hi,
you can reorder profile fields within the profile fields configuration. Just use the arrows within the list.
But there will be a problem with the address in the profile. We build this address static and there postal code is now before city. We will change this within the next release so that we use the order of your profile list. If there postal code is after city we will also show this in the profile.

Thank you for your excellent reply, Fasse!
Both Canada and the U.S. have a similar format for mail, so your solution will have a wide audience. Admidio has solved most of my issues, and now we are one step closer to making things work for us.

Hi Norm,
I will change it so this format:
FirstName LastName
Address
City Postal
Is that ok?

Re: How to re-order fields?
Hi Fasse,
The ideal solution for me, would be to include the Province (State, in the U.S.) into the mailing address, like:
FirstName LastName
Address
City, Province(State)
Postal
I could adapt your proposed solution if I modify the way I enter a members data, by including the Province with the City field to look like: "Vancouver, BC". Doing this would produce the correct mailing format, but unfortunately it would make sorting, or finding, members "by Province" much more difficult.
At the moment, I have a separate field for Province. Would there be a way for an Administrator to include a Province/State field to the above format?
Much thanks... Norm
