similar to: number_to_currency() helper == non DRY == could be improved

I work in the UK and therefore most of my currency figures will be in UK pounds. I realise that to format a number to a currency format I can use: number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "?") but it would be more convenient to set ? as the default currency symbol. What is the best way to do that? Should I edit line 39 of this file:

I was wondering if this is possible. I have a model (Item) that contains products. These products have prices that I''d like to format using number_to_currency. Rather than doing this several times inside the view, I thought it might be nice to do it once inside the model. The item table has an field called regular_price which holds a currency amount. I would like to do something

Back in 2.1.1 everything was sweet: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> "$12.30" Then I upgraded to 2.3.2 and: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> 12.3

I was trying to write a wrapper for number_to_currency to return currency in pounds. I used a helper class to do this. def number_to_pounds(amt) number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "£") end This works fine, but I am trying to understand why I can''t use a symbol to pass the values. I thought symbols were like pointers. (you now know I am a newbie). def

Hi Gurus, I have a class, specified in models cart.rb, which doesn''t inherit from anything--it''s just a container class Cart ... I just discovered I can''t call number_to_currency in that class. Any idea how to "include" it in my code? I tried ActionView.number_to_currency without luck. I could kill a few lines of non-DRY regexp code in cart.rb if I could

Hello, Today I noticed that the number_to_currency helper didn''t work anymore (it just returned the numeric value, without any currency). I tracked down the error and saw that editing line 89 ( number_to_currency method) as follows solved the problem : Old piece of code : begin format.gsub(/%n/, number_with_precision(number, :precision => precision, :delimiter =>
