Hi there. I am using the currency object as one of the fields in an object on Silverstripe. However; whenever I display it in the temaple it has four digits after the decimal point. I just wondered if there is anyway of stopping it and it only showing two. Below is an example of the code:

<% control Courses %>
	<tr>
		<td class="first"><a href="{$Top.BaseHref}{$Top.URLSegment}/{$URLSegment}">$Title</a></td>
		<td>$Duration</td>
		<td class="highlight">{$PriceCurrency}{$PriceAmount}
		</td>
		<td class="last"><a class="date-link" href="/booking/course/{$ID}">Find Dates</a></td>
	</tr>
<% end_control %>

<tr>
	<td class="first"><a href="{Link Removed}">Fire Safety Course</a></td>
	<td></td>
	<td class="highlight">£0.0000</td>
	<td class="last"><a class="date-link" href="/booking/course/2">Find Dates</a></td>
</tr>

Hope someone can help.

Cheers,
Steve

You could use $PriceCurrency.Nice in your template...

Thanks martimiz but it didn't work. It didn't show up anything if I did that.

Other options I've tried that didn't work are:

$PriceCurrency.Format
$PriceCurrency.Currency
$PriceCurrency.Decimal

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Cheers,

I figured it out! We we're nearly there with Nice. But it should of been attached to the object, not the string of it. So to get it to work I used:

$Price.Nice

And it worked :)

For anybody having problems getting currency symbols to display with .Nice - use the code for the symbol:
Currency::setCurrencySymbol('£');

Hi there i have a site and was just wondering how to change the output of the number form have 4 zeros after the decimal place to have just 2

I needed format ex.: 1.000,00 € so here's my solution if anyone will need:

CurrencyExtension.php

class CurrencyExtension extends DataExtension {

  public function CustomPriceFormat() {
    $val = number_format(abs($this->owner->value), 2, ',', '.') .' '. $this->owner->config()->currency_symbol;
    if($this->owner->value < 0) return "($val)";
    else return $val;
  }

}

_config.yml

Currency:
  extensions:
    - CurrencyExtension

mysite/_config.php

Currency::setCurrencySymbol('€');

my_template.ss

$Price.CustomPriceFormat

tested in SS 3.5.1
