Hi,

In Belgium we use no thousands separator or if we do, we use a space. For decimal separator, we use a comma (,).
As IM does not allow 'nothing' to be used, I entered a space. I'm now witnesing hyphenation of amounts in the dashboard view in the back-end.

4 374,32€

...is displayed as...

4
374,32€

That is: spread over 2 lines.

I would prefer to be able to leave the thousand separator blank so that amounts are being displayed as 4374,32€ if that is the most easy solution.
How do I do this ?

    Hi Germinal,

    I have the same going on for my next implementation. The amounts are again being hyphenated. Can you tell me about the small other modification or do you need access to this site ?

    Thanks,
    Mario

    yes, the file you need to keep is /components/com_invoices/helpers/helpers.php

    Thanks !

    I removed the comma on line 28. Next to that I cleared the thousands separator in the IM settings (had a space before).
    The combination of these two resolved the hyphenation issue.

    Hello,

    the easiest way of doing this is:
    - open file /administrator/components/com_invoices/config.xml and locate a tag called "thousands" (it's in XML format. if you get lost, let me know and I'll help you)
    - just change its default vaule, which currently is default="," to default=""

    Hi Germinal,

    I have changed the value in the config.xml file.
    In the back-end in the options menu, I removed the space.
    When I refresh my screen, the values change from:

    4 374,32€

    to

    4,374,32€

    So even though I removed the comma as default value, it re-appeared after the suggested changes.
