I'm not well versed in international address formatting, but this seems to work for most cases. Critiques are welcome!

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. if($key == 'short_address') {
  2. 	// this is tricky b/c of international addresses
  3. 	// if the location is US based then we want to display an identifier similiar to: Bob's Place in Downingtown OH
  4. 	// if the location is non-USA based (and either city or providence is not available) then we want to display: Bob's Place in Downingtown USA
  5.  
  6. 	return $this->name.' in '.$this->city.' '.$this->providence.
  7. 		(empty($this->city) || empty($this->providence) ? ' '.$this->country : '');
  8. } else if($key == 'full_address') {
  9. 	// target format for US based addresses:
  10. 	//	300 Road Street
  11. 	//	Town PA, 19335
  12. 	// target format for non-US based addresses
  13. 	//	address1
  14. 	//	City, Providence Postal Code Country
  15.  
  16. 	// the trims handle edge cases when there is not enough information to propertly display an address
  17.  
  18. 	if($this->country == 'US') {
  19. 		return trim(trim($this->address1."\n".$this->address2)."\n".$this->city).", ".$this->providence." ".$this->postal_code;
  20. 	} else {
  21. 		return trim(trim($this->address1."\n".$this->address2)."\n".$this->city).", ".$this->providence." ".$this->postal_code." ".$this->country;
  22. 	}
  23. }
