BUG in Field Type plugin

[mkainz]

When i use separator for unit and decimal
For example 12?
12,00 (using ',' for decimals), i enable the number format and it reports me 12000 on calc plugin ... how to fix this?

That's not a bug, that's simply that the number formatting is only applied during rendering of the field, it's not a part of the actual "value". if it was, then simple calc's that do things like addition ...

return '{foo___field1}' + '{foo___field2}';

... would fail because you can't do math on formatted numbers.

Just redo the number_format() you need in the calc.

$myNumber = number_format('{yourtable___yourelement}', 2, ',', '.');

... or whatever number format it is you need:
