- Usage: samerow,size,prepend,append,decimals,dec_point,thousands
- Example1: 0,60,,hours
- Example2: 0,5,,h,2,c,,
| Option | Description |
| samerow | will display the next field or checkbox in the same row if a 1 is specified |
| size | is the visible size of the field in characters |
| prepend | is text that will be displayed before the field |
| append | is text that will be displayed just after the field |
| decimals | sets the number of decimal places |
| dec_point | sets the separator for the decimal point (decimals must also be set). Use c for comma and s for space. ➡️ Please note: This field affects just the display of numbers from Tiki to the user once they are already saved in the tracker, but NOT the way they have to be inserted through the browser into Tiki. The valid decimal separator when inserting numbers may depend on site language and web browser: Firefox and IE9 seem to accept only dots (.), while Chrome, Opera and Safari only commas (,). |
| thousands | sets the thousands separator. Use c for comma and s for space. Setting only commas will result in no decimals and commas as the thousands separator |
multiple options must appear in the order specified, separated by commas.
