[Products] Euro currency error. When I type a price of 5 it turns into 50

[sstead]

Description

While testing on Katuma staging I noticed that product prices I was entering were getting saved as a different figure (e.g. if I typed 5, it would save as fifty euro 50.0 ). We then realised this was the results of the superadmin configuration setting.

Expected Behavior Vs Actual

When setting up an instance, it should be clear which settings I need and it shouldn't be possible to use settings which break things.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Katuma staging as superadmin
2. in Config Set to use Euro and don't select the 'use the international...' tickbox.
3. Go to products, set a price as 5 - see it save as 50.0
4. Go back to Config - select the tickbox and then repeat step 3 but see that price saves as 5.0 correctly

This video shows you how when teh config settings are wrong the pries don't save correctly https://www.useloom.com/share/c80edf4fd91f415e896070883b08d75c?focus_title=1&muted=1

Context

Instance setup- the fact that this tickbox is required in order for Euro to function, but this isn't communicated, is problematic.

Severity

s5

Katuma staging, PC, Chrome

Classical mistake @sstead :-) You need to go in configuration and make sure the "use international currency thing" (don't remember phrasing) is enabled. Actually I think it should be default for all instances as it works for all instances ... but anyway, check, and then close that issue ;-)

Thanks @myriamboure I've talked to Maikel and update the bug. I've also made a note in the superadmin guide that if you use Euro you must select the 'international' tickbox in config.

[myriamboure]

To be precise I would say "if you use coma separator for decimals or any non dot coma separator for decimal option, you should select that"... I'm not sure it's linked only to euros. But anyway no big deal ;-)

So as this is set up by a configuration setting, I suggest we move this to discourse if we want to change this. So I'm closing here as Myriam suggested.

Reopening. As maybe the checkbox does more than that.

Thank you for this issue. I also had "Use the international..." unchecked and this strange behaviour. Now it's ok.

I think I've reproduced this issue.

With these settings:

These values below, inputted as a prices in EUR:

0,1
0,01
0,001

Are always interpreted as 1.0 EUR. I would not expect this, as "," (comma) is set to be decimal separator.

Ticking the box below and inserting these values correctly converts them:
0,1 -> 0.1
0,01 -> 0.01
0,001 -> 0.001

I see the original post from @sstead (from Nov 15, 2018) does not have this option:

But these seem to have no effect whatsoever, for instance, you can input:

I found these settings to no effect in backoffice or shopfront - even after server/unicorn service restart.
