[SOLVED] PHX price format

I have an estate agency site that displays properties in a summary listing and in full detail using Ditto calls. I have successfully created a simple PHX modifier to format the price into groups of 000’s (with a , in between) by creating a new snippet called phx:price_format and containing the code

<?php
$niceprice = number_format($output);
return $niceprice;
?>

A chunk is called by Ditto to format the summary listing output which contains the placeholder [+saleprice:price_format+], and that works perfectly.

Now I want to also format the price on the main property detail page, which is based on a template with various TV calls (including the TV ’saleprice’). According to the PHX documentation I should be able to use the modifier in a TV call like [*saleprice:price_format*]... But this doesn’t work.

Can anybody help?

You could just use a snippet along these lines :

<?php
$tv = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(true, $modx->documentIdentifier);
$output = $tv['saleprice'];
$niceprice = number_format($output);
return $niceprice;
?>

Use it in the template instead of the TV
