Clients should respect locale parameters defined in OpenERP locales (thousands separator, etc.)

[Olivier Dony (Odoo)]

Currently both web and GTK client use the locale parameters (thousands separator, decimal separator, time format, ...) defined in the system, instead of the ones defined in the database (in res.lang records).

This should be improved in the future, to allow finer control on locale parameters, and make locale formatting consistent with what is done in OpenERP reports. The most important setting is probably the date format, but this should be ok when bug 674079 is solved.

+1 I'm totally agree.

[Davide Corio (enlightx-deactivatedaccount)]

+100

it's really urgent, we cannot use correct separators in forms/views and people get really confused

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

I use OpenERP 6.0.2 server .

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

did you set the value of "separator Format"i.e field 'grouping' in language settings ?

[anoop (anoopputhukkudy)]

Hi
I used the language "en_US" and it normally marked the thousand separator.

[Ferdinand (office-chricar)]

will this language setting become standard?

[anoop (anoopputhukkudy)]

Yes.

[anoop (anoopputhukkudy)]

Is there any solution.
In my language "en_US" Decimal Separator mark as dot(.) and Thousands Separator mark comma(,)

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

yes...this is for the case with en_US locale its the standard one...

[Cristian Salamea (ovnicraft)]

@Anoop you need to set this configuration (i what you are trying):

Separator Format field: [3] * check the doc for this
Decimal separator field: .
Thousands Separator: ,

restart the client and you get the configuration.

Regards,

[anoop (anoopputhukkudy)]

Thanks Cristian .. its work finee..

[anoop (anoopputhukkudy)]

Sorry again ,
thousand separator shows only first line and it shows entire amount .
I think something wrong in my configuration or still have some issues in gtk client .
Please see the attached image

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

as you have set Separator Format field: [3] it will put a ',' counting from the right most digit till 3rd digit.
if you have Separator Format field: [3,2,-1] then you will have 21474,83,647.00

so nothing wrong with the configuration...it depends on what settings you need...

Thanks

Hello,
how to use the num pad (numeric keypad) key '.' as decimal separator with spanish configuration?
(web client)

My configuration is:
 - Decimal separator field: ,
 - Thousands Separator: .

Example: 5.300,99

Whe I press the numeric dot, openerp web client dont use it correctly:
 5.2 --> 52,00 and not 5,2

Can I change this behavior?

Thanks
Juanjo A

[Naresh(OpenERP) (nch-openerp)]

**automated message**
Thanks a lot for reporting this bug and contributing to OpenERP. Unfortunately the OpenERP Web Client project is not going to be developed further after the 6.0 series. As of 6.1 a newer and better web frontend known as the OpenERP Web project[1] will be available.
Our R&D developers normally work in Launchpad to fix bugs for the next release, but there will be no next release for the current OpenERP Web Client. As our resources are limited, all further R&D efforts from the Web team are dedicated to finish the new 6.1 OpenERP Web project[1].
This bug will be closed as "Won't Fix" to show that R&D won't be able to work on it.

Bugs affecting customers in production of course continue to be handled via the OpenERP Enterprise (OPW) maintenance service, and this is the recommended way to have them corrected directly in the 6.0 LTS stable branch.
You can find more details about all of this in the FAQ of our Bug Management Policy documentation[2].

If you are interested, you should soon be able to beta-test the new OpenERP Web 6.1 (this will be announced on OpenERP Community channels).

Thank you for your contributions and for your understanding!
