I don't think you can achieve all you want (also referring to your other post here) with the field element out of the box. It's not a "currency element", after all...

A workaround could be to use that field element in the form, but in the list to display a (new) calc element where you can format the field element's value as you like. It only requires to not display the field element in the list, and to not show the calc element in the form.

It works for me in the list view with the same settings, so the output is $2,300.00

Do you have your screenshot from details view? In details view (when element is read-only) it seems that thousand separator and decimal point are not considered at all, regardless whether you have something in "Format string" field or not.

To format the number in details view you could use some jQuery in details_xx.js and in "document ready" function loop through all the "number" fields with "each" function and format them as you like. As this is pure jQuery, you will find lots of examples for that in Stackoverflow.

thanks for reply, in the list show ok.



in edit form looks ok with the coma


in detail view no comas



my first post is a READ ONLY repeat group in a form but is working like the detail



i belive it should show the comma right?

 

[jmoises]

ooo if i remove the read only from the repeat group i get the commas



but i need to be read only is this a bug?

and yes is something i can fix with some jquery, but the settings on the element show be same on readonly or not correct?

I guess you could call it a bug. I cannot see any solution except the one I wrote above without hacking the core code.
