Better Display of Negative Numbers

Hi, I am sure NMedia can fix it, but if you have access to the plugin code, it’s a one-line change to plugin file /inc/functions.php:
find line
$formatted_price = ( $negative ? '-' : '' ) . sprintf( $price_format, get_woocommerce_currency_symbol(), $wc_price );
in function ppom_price($price) at about line 1140
and remove the extra negative bit to give:
$formatted_price = sprintf( $price_format, get_woocommerce_currency_symbol(), $wc_price );
This will keep it in line with the WooCommerce price settings.
Hope that helps.
Chris

Thanks Chris,

Your solution helped. I solved it specifically with the following code:

$wc_price = number_format( abs($price), $decimals, $decimal_separator, $thousand_separator );

on line 1140 which now outputs -$5.00

Now would be nice to have a css class applied to negative numbers to allow styling.

Hi,

Thanks for suggesting fix, we have updated PPOM for a better control for negative number in version 16.0 with more major features and it will be released in couple of days.

Hi, well that was the way I changed it to begin with – further testing showed that this gives different display to the woocommerce format in the product prices at the bottom
(e.g. (-$30.00) in option, but ￡-30.00 in the product option price, so I changed it to the version I posted above, (removing the negative bit). But it is your choice!

Version 16.0 is released.
