hello Joe,

The options for "company_address" and "contact_information" are defined in content.ini

[MatrixComponentSettings]
CompanyAddress[]
CompanyAddress[]=Postal Address
CompanyAddress[]=Visitor Address

PersonContactInfo[]
PersonContactInfo[]=Phone
PersonContactInfo[]=Fax
PersonContactInfo[]=Email
PersonContactInfo[]=Homepage
PersonContactInfo[]=IM address

CompanyContactInfo[]
CompanyContactInfo[]=Phone
CompanyContactInfo[]=Fax
CompanyContactInfo[]=Email
CompanyContactInfo[]=Homepage

You have to create an override file for content.ini in settings/override/content.ini.append.php
or in settings/siteaccess/admin/content.ini.append with additional data.

thanks, fran
