Euros price, help

Ricsca · July 7th, 2011, 05:31 AM

Hi,
I have problems to insert ads in the euro price. For example if I type 5.000,00, I apper in the display ad 500. How can I do? I'm putting correcting 5000.00, but it makes me appear to 5,000.00 but it is obviously not correct!
Thanks in advance
Rik

It should display as noted

test - PhotoPost Classifieds

All I did was pick euro and enter 5000.00

what are you saying it should be? I guess I am not understanding your english. Your saying yours shows 500 but I showed in my example it shows 5000.00

please tell me how do I push back and see € 5.000,00 or only € 5.000, instead of 5,000.00

well I would need to investigate how the currencies are suppose to be displayed online correctly. I know when I created the currencies how we display it is how I show online it is suppose to be displayed. There are various currency formats in the application with each type using a specific display based on what information I find online.

I think what Ricsca means is the different display of commas and decimals in different countries.

For example, in your test ad, €5,000.00 is the incorrect format. In Europe, they use a period as a thousands separator and a comma for decimals. So the correct display in Europe is €5.000,00

The problem is Wulf globally I have seen contradicting info about this. Alot of European sites show currency like 5,000 and some may do 5.000

Right now in classifieds there are 4 different currency formats based on the currency formats we support.

This is a relative easy mod in showcat and showproduct php files you have a line like so for $ctype is 1

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

The last variable is empty being '' whereas if you add a period you will get what you want as noted in my example above '.'

Yeah, it can be very confusing with all those different formats worldwide and I can imagine it's a major hassle for software developers. The display of the number is not really the problem but the number entry with decimal separator is. For example, 12.34 vs 12,34
