Hi there,

I’m presenting some prices on a website and (much like the post featured here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/216773/) would like to add a thousand separator where relevant.

I came across a plugin (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/number-format), but the EE2 version leads to a 404 on Github.

I’m sure this must be a simple thing to do.

Any ideas are appreciated?

Here’s a script I’ve used with great success:

// JavaScript Document

function trimNumber(s) {
  while (s.substr(0,1) == '0' && s.length>1) { s = s.substr(1,9999); }
   s += '';
 x = s.split('.');
 x1 = x[0];
 x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
 var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
 while (rgx.test(x1)) {
  x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
 }
 return x1 + x2;
}

Place that script in the head of your page, and call to it where you want a number to be formatted:

<s-cript language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var s = '{your_custom_field_name}';
d-ocument.write(trimNumber(s));
 -->
</s-cript>

you’ll have to take out the “-” in s-cript and d-ocument. I had to add that, so I could get the code to post in the forum.

Good luck.

Hi there,

Thanks for your response, I’ve now sorted this one using the Price Format plugin (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/price-format), but thanks for your suggestion also.
