Address Field

The Address Field module provides a Drupal 7 field for standardized storage of postal addresses based on the OASIS xNAL standard.

Address Field provides one or more addresses to an entity, module, or user. It understands the differences in address styles for each country, and offers per-country edit forms and formatting.

For example, for Australia:

City might be the city and, in the case of a big city, is usually the suburb. An address in Wahroonga is usually Wahroonga but might be Wahroonga, Sydney.

We have states: ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, and WA. An address in Wahroonga is Wahroonga NSW.

The postal code is usually called postcode and is a four-digit integer with the first digit indicating a state. NSW postcodes start with 2. Sydney is 2000. An address in Wahroonga is Wahroonga NSW 2076.

For a review of the module's inner workings, see the Address Field from a code perspective.
