Hello
I would improve an idea present by Charles STELTZLEN on issue OFBIZ-7532 [1]
Currently when you display a number you have different possibility to
format it :
* by ftl with <@ofbizAmount>
* by widget with
* or everywhere with UtilFormatOut.formatDecimalNumber(number,
template, locale)
Main problem, we haven't a simple solution to homogenize display
template number by purpose without check each case on source code.
A example, if you display your invoice amount on 3 digits and your order
amount on 6 digits, you can't use ofbizAmount or accounting-number so
you do raw call :
* for invoice: UtilFormatOut.formatDecimalNumber(invoiceAmount,
'##0.000', locale)
* for order: UtilFormatOut.formatDecimalNumber(invoiceAmount,
'##0.00', locale)
on ftl
${Static["org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.UtilFormatOut"].formatDecimalNumber(invoiceAmount,
'##0.000', locale)}
on widget
There is huge cases where we want different displaying template.
For homogenize all I propose to introduce each format template on
properties that would be use everywhere in ofbiz, example :
format.properties
invoice.format=##0.000
order.format=##0.00
on ftl
<@ofbizAmount amount=invoice.amount format='invoice'/>
on widget
All displaying template pass through new util
*UtilFormatOut.formatNumber* as generic function to works with a format
type present on properties. With this idea, you can use on you specific
source code your own format and override standard ofbiz format.
I will suggest a patch on issue OFBIZ-7532 [1]
I thinks it's important feature to help customization so if you have a
suggest, your welcome :)
Cheers,
Nicolas
