OrchardCMS
Provide basic support for displaying NumericField for Currency
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For non-developer, who's using Orchard Core CMS for their local web site - needs a way for NumericFiled to be displayed as Currency, without any programming knowledge
- Probably based on Site settings without Localization feature.
This is a ContentField custom Display Mode. We talked about it on Gitter.
@Model.ContentItem.Content.ContTentTypeName.Price.Value.ToString("C0", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture))
Yes, to have Display and Editor option of Currency that use above code.
However CultureInfo for currency to configured in Site Settings similar to time zone and not depend on Localization feature. So that even with enabled Localization feature for different culture for contents - the currency stays same based to site setting.
At this point, I'm not sure if Site Settings is appropriate. Probably would not cover every use case. Need to think about it. I understand your point though. You want this to be configurable apart from the Localization feature because on a field you could want to use a specific culture currency that is different than the CurrentUICulture.
I'm not sure if this makes sense to use a field for currency. If I look at the OrchardCore.Commerce repository they used a PricePart because it requires to pass into a MoneyService which probably handles these things.
Yes - from site setting - because each tenant can set different setting independent of OS CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture
After some discussions with @Skrypt it might be that you need a new field with Value and Currency properties, not dependent of the culture.
Better have custom display modes instead. Like "content only (no label)"
@infofromca luckly I replied to your issue there, because I already developed such field
