Hi,
Was wondering if there is an easy way to format a
number in template toolkit to pad each 1000 withn a
comma..
e.g 1000 become 1,000 and 1000000 becomes 1,000,000
Have a read of the Template::Manual::VMethods and look for the 'chunk' method.
[% number.chunk(-3).join(',') %]
If that is too cryptic for your templates, then have a look at the
Template::Plugin::Comma plugin which also does the trick:
[% USE Comma %]
[% number | comma %]
If i18N is important to you, then look at
Template::Plugin::Number::Format which knows what convention to use
for different countries:
[% USE Number.Format %]
[% number | format_number %]
Cheers,
Cees
