Add possibility to change Number formatting of Number Field

[PhilippGrashoff]

Hi, I want to add the ability to change the thousands seperator in Money FormField. e.g. in Germany, its a .. PHP standard is a ,. PHP's number_format takes 2 or 4 parameters, with four both thousands seperator and decimal point: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php

I think as there are already the properties currency and currency_decimals in Persistence/UI, its best to put two additional properties there and use them in Money FormField: currency_dec_point and currency_thousands_sep.

WDYT?

If we're talking about how to extend customization abilities of Persistence/UI then yes, it could work like that. BUT to be honest I would like to see all these localization/internationalization properties implemented somehow differently. Maybe by using something from our localization branch (not sure in what stage it is now)?

[PhilippGrashoff]

100% right. I always think of Persistence/UI of something that can be removed someday :)

[DarkSide666]

Maybe not removed, but I don't feel that any Persistence should be somehow related to localization/internationalization. Persistence is about storing data (even if in session or cache) and you store pure data not localized. There should be something else in the middle which does this l16/i18 job.
