I am trying to change the address field so that it shows my name, street, suburb, city, country all on separate lines. I know that I have to change these blocks of code, but how?
\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}r@{}}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@addressstreet}}{}{\makenewline\addresssymbol\@addressstreet%
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@addresscity}{}}{}{\makenewline\@addresscity}% if \addresstreet is defined, \addresscity and addresscountry will always be defined but could be empty
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@addresscountry}{}}{}{\makenewline\@addresscountry}}%
\phonesdetails% needs to be pre-rendered as loops and tabulars seem to conflict
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@email}}{}{\makenewline\emailsymbol\emaillink{\@email}}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@homepage}}{}{\makenewline\homepagesymbol\httplink{\@homepage}}%
\socialsdetails% needs to be pre-rendered as loops and tabulars seem to conflict
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@extrainfo}}{}{\makenewline\@extrainfo}%
\end{tabular}
and
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}%
\raggedleft%
\addressfont\textcolor{color2}{%
{\bfseries\upshape\@firstname {} \@lastname}\@firstdetailselementfalse%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@addressstreet}}{}{\makenewline\addresssymbol\@addressstreet%
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@addresscity}{}}{}{\makenewline\@addresscity}% if \addresstreet is defined, \addresscity and addresscountry will always be defined but could be empty
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@addresscountry}{}}{}{\makenewline\@addresscountry}}%
\collectionloop{phones}{% the key holds the phone type (=symbol command prefix), the item holds the number
\makenewline\csname\collectionloopkey phonesymbol\endcsname\collectionloopitem}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@email}}{}{\makenewline\emailsymbol\emaillink{\@email}}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@homepage}}{}{\makenewline\homepagesymbol\httplink{\@homepage}}%
\ifthenelse{\isundefined{\@extrainfo}}{}{\makenewline\@extrainfo}}%
\end{minipage}\\[1em]
I've tried doing it the logical way and added
\ifthenelse{\equal{\@addresssuburb}}{}{\makenewline\@addresssuburb%
between the lines related to street and city, but I get an error:
File ended while scanning use of \@argdef
(Am I just being dumb?) The idea is to put \address{street name}{suburb}{city}{country} in the document body so that my name, street, suburb, city, country would be shown on the top right-hand side of the first page of the cover letter and cv.
