Magento – How to Parse Billing Address

billing-addressmagento-1.8magento-1.9pdf

I am having a little trouble with Magento's invoice PDF. Specifically, I want to change the address formatting. For example, currently Magento outputs names and addresses under the Billing Address heading like this:

John Doe  
123 Fake Street Los Angeles,  
California, 90210  
T: (310) 555-5555

I want the output to have the following format:

John Doe  
123 Fake Street  
Los Angeles, California, 90210  
T: (310) 555-5555

Where the city is on the same line as the State and Zip.

I have found how Magento formats the first example. I am trying to figure out how to modify Magento's code so that I get the second output.

In /app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/ -> Abstract.php there is a function _formatAddress() that takes in a string with the that looks like:

"John Doe| 123 Fake Street Los Angeles,| California, 90210| T: (310) 555-5555"

and parses the string with respect to the vertical bars ("|"). I've noticed that I need to place a vertical bar right after the Street in order to produce my desired output but I don't know what function inserts these vertical bars.

Also, _formatAddress() gets called like this:

$billingAddress = $this->_formatAddress($order->getBillingAddress()->format('pdf'));

I have tried tracing the getBillingAddress() and format('pdf') but have had no luck.

Does anyone know where the vertical bars get inserted?

You can customise the format via the back-end under System > Configuration > Customer Configuration > Address Templates > Pdf

Magento – Billing and Shipping Address Should Be Different

You can set separate addresses by creating another address in the customer section and set that to default shipping address

Magento – Deny change billing address customer

I think you are asking two questions. I'll try to answer the first one. This is how I tried to always use the default billing address:

As far as I know a billing address is tied to the chosen payment method. In order to disallow the customer to change the billing address, I made two changes:

Configure the payment method not to use a billing address
Add an interceptor plugin to the setBillingAddress function of the \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote class which always inserts the default billing address The interceptor is needed, because the standard shipping address is still used instead of the standard billing address.

1.

This can be accomplished by overriding the isBillingAddressRequired property of the checkout layout. For example when using the Magento_OfflinePayments module as a payment option: Copy the xml code of magento2ce/vendor/magento/module-offline-payments/view/frontend/layout/checkout_index_index.xml to /app/design/frontend/{YOUR_VENDOR}/{YOUR_THEME}/Magento_OfflinePayments/layout/checkout_index_index.xml and set the true booleans to false. This

2.

I used http://alanstorm.com/magento_2_object_manager_plugin_system as a guide for setting up the Interceptor:

<?php
namespace {YOUR_VENDOR}\{YOUR_MODULE}\Model\Quote;

use Magento\Customer\Api\AddressRepositoryInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Model\Address;
use Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager;
use Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException;
use Magento\Quote\Api\Data\AddressInterface;
use Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Interceptor;

class Plugin
{

    /** @var  CustomerRepositoryInterface */
    private $_customerRepository;

    /** @var  AddressRepositoryInterface */
    private $_addressRepository;


    /**
     * Plugin constructor.
     * @param CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepository
     * @param AddressRepositoryInterface  $addressRepository
     */
    public function __construct(
        CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepository,
        AddressRepositoryInterface $addressRepository
    ) {
        $this->_customerRepository = $customerRepository;
        $this->_addressRepository = $addressRepository;
    }


    /**
     * Interceptor which always sets the default billing address of a customer as the quote/order billing address
     * @param Interceptor      $subject
     * @param AddressInterface $address
     * @return $this
     */
    public function beforeSetBillingAddress(Interceptor $subject, AddressInterface $address = null)
    {
        $customerId = $address->getCustomerId();

        /** @var CustomerInterface $customer */
        $customer = $this->_customerRepository->getById($customerId);

        /** @var Address $defaultAddress */
        $defaultAddressId = $customer->getDefaultBilling();

        /** @var \Magento\Customer\Api\AddressRepositoryInterface $addressRepository */
        try {
            //This is our Customer Address
            $defaultBillingAddress = $this->_addressRepository->getById($defaultAddressId);

            //Convert the Customer Address to a Quote Address
            //Using the ObjectManager is bad practice, use DI instead, but how?
            $objectManager = ObjectManager::getInstance();
            /** @var \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address $quoteBillingAddress */
            $quoteBillingAddress = $objectManager->create('Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address');
            $quoteBillingAddress->importCustomerAddressData($defaultBillingAddress);

            $address = $quoteBillingAddress;
        } catch (LocalizedException $e) {
            //Address not found?
        }


        return [$address];
    }

}

I feel this solution is still sub optimal. I hope an interceptor won't be necessary, but maybe this is of use to anyone.
