Currency Format for Number Field Calculation

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms

    How can I format the Number field that's calculating a Product Price and a Quantity? I'm not so concerned with the dollar sign but I would like to have 2 decimal places to show in my Subtotal field when the user changes the Quantity. I have the Rounding set to 2 but if there are trailing zeroes they get cut off.

    Calculation of $5.25 x 2 = 10.5 (Should show as 10.50)

    Hi Guys,

    Here is a solution to this:

    http://gravitywiz.com/2012/05/24/format-field-as-currency/

    If you'd like to display the currency symbol separately, you'll want to remove it from the formatted number. Replace this line:

    [js]
$(this).val(gformFormatMoney($(this).val()));

    With this:

    [js]
$(this).val(gformFormatMoney($(this).val()).replace(\'$\', \'\'));

    Thanks David!

    The snippet for the functions.php file didn't work for us but the javascript-only code worked perfectly.

    Hi Glenn,

    Glad to hear it. Did you get an error with the PHP version or just didn't work?

    No errors. It just didn't work. Does it have to do with the add_filter? I couldn't find any gform functions called gform_format_money.

    Same for me. The PHP/Function method did not work, but adding the jquery directly to my header.php file worked like a champ.

    Thanks!

    It appears that whenever I enable Page Breaks on a form, it nullifies the effect of applying this filter. Anyone else experiencing that?

    Hi Kinetic (and other's interested in this),

    The functionality has been updated to work a little more globally:

    Hi David,

    I was trying to remove the $ sign using your code but it didn't work. It gives an error message "Unexpected $ sign". And there are 2 instances of this line $(this).val(gformFormatMoney($(this).val()));

    which one should be replaced. Though I have tried every combination.

    Your help will be much appreciated.

    Hi David,

    I have figured it out. The second instance of the code should be replaces by the following code:

    $(this).val(gformFormatMoney($(this).val()).replace(\'$\', \'\'));

    Your code was not escaped properly and missing one closing first bracket. Just posted this so that it could help others.

    I'll send this information to David Smith and see if the code needs to be updated or if there is a newer version we can reference or if something else is wrong.

    Hi David and Chris,

    Another problem now arised. After submission of the form if there are any validation errors with any of the fields other than the currency fields, when the form is shown with the error messages, the dollar sign comes back again. Should I use any other hook?

    I would appreciate your help in this regard.

    Best regards,

    Mahfuz

    You can use the gform_post_render hook to run your JavaScript after a validation error:
