I am having a hell of time with acts_as_money and rails 2.0.2. Everytime I edit a record and click save, whatever price is in my price field gets two extra zeros. I am forced to trim two zeros off of every price field everytime I open a record for editing, even if all I wanted to do was adjust a different field.

I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone had this sort of issue happen to them?

Srgt PPD,

The ”$” is coming from the money gem. If you want the amount without it, you can just call #to_s on the money object.

How do you remove the dollar sign from the format method? I tried to delete it, but nothing happend. Search within the code of the plugin but couldn’t find any more ”$” signs.

I haven’t tried this myself… does this plugin work with Rails 2.0?

LBo,

There’s not exactly a way to do it with the acts_as_money plugin, but if you look at the source for the plugin, it’s very trivial. Mainly, it makes use of a patch to composed_of, which I have also packaged as a plugin. In your situation, I would just install the composed_of plugin patch, then do something like the following in your model:

composed_of :price, :class_name => 'Money',
    :mapping => [%w(cents cents), %w(currency currency)] do |hash|
  Money.new("#{hash[:dollars]}.#{hash[:cents]}", hash[:currency])
end

And then in your views:

text_field_tag 'mymodel[price][dollars]'
text_field_tag 'mymodel[price][cents]'

Hi Brandon,

My users have to fill in a price with two seperate input fields. One for a full amount and one for cents. Together it makes the whole price.

What would be the best way to take care of the separate formvalues in combination with this plugin?

Brandon, Thanks for the reply.

The reasons I was considering were as its been posted as a patch it will eventually end up in core rails.

John,

When I initially released it, acts_as_money actually didn’t use the aggregations patch. But the code was doing some ugly string eval stuff. It was only a couple lines, but ugly none-the-less. I added the aggregations patch to demonstrate its usefulness (no one cared).

I ended up packaging the patch as a plugin, so I could remove it from acts_as_money, but I’m guessing people would find it more annoying to have to install 2 plugins. Unless it’s getting in the way, I think I’m going to leave it as is. Got any good reasons to remove it?

I think it would be a good idea to package the acts_as_money without the composed_of patch.

Had you considered that?

This is not a reflection on the quality or otherwise, just that it would appear separate from the money code.

Haig,

MIT. I’ll add it to the code.

Brandon, can you tell us how you’ve licensed this plugin? I can’t seem to find anything in the code about it… Thanks!!
