Can you tell me the result of this usage before we install this extension on slovenian wikipedia:
The problem was that we want that parameters in our infoboxes contains input decimal comma system and we must prepare the number for further calculations in engish decimal point system.
Example and testing can be done here http://www.wecowi.de/index.php?title=WeCoWi:Spielwiese&oldid=133108
The function mainly only uses PHPs format_num described here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php
When you can describe what conversion you expect I maybe could add it
Hmm, I really dont understand how this works. Can you comment the results on http://www.wecowi.de/index.php?title=WeCoWi:Spielwiese&oldid=133132
the problem is, that when using . as seperator for thousands this is recogniced as decimal seperator because of this I added another parameter so that you can specify the sepeator for thousands so that it can be removed
I added some lines so that the seperator will be guessed. this will only work if it's clear which one is the thousand sepeator and which the decimal seperator
Its better, but still:
{{#formatnum: 2.300|2|.|}} → 2.30 it should be 2300.12
{{#formatnum: 10.000|2|.|}} → 10.00 it should be 10000.00
how can the parser know, that the point is a thousend seperator and not a decimal seperator? when adding otsep=. you will get the behaviour you want. Then the parser know that the . is a thousand seperator.
Thanks. It works fine for me (or I should say slovenian wikipedians) and I will recomend this Extension for installation. This will have a large improvement in our templates (calculating population density, all sorts of conversions). We still have to do some voting about this, but I dont see any problems. Are all changes you made in the latest version - 0.5.1 (2012-08-27)?
And I am sorry about my dummy questions, I am new in Media wiki (till now I was just Media wiki user).
