Can Joomla make auto currency to displayed after typing specific format?

I have seen websites that if the user wrote some specific format like this in the back-end for example :

  1. Polo Shirt , 500
  2. V-Neck Shirt , 500
  3. Pijamas , 500
  4. Polo Shirt , 750
  5. Jeans , 750

Then in the front-end it will display (in table form):

$500

Polo Shirt

V-Neck Shirt

Pijamas

$750

Polo Shirt

Jeans

They will automatically divide items and price by a comma and just by typing number then it will automatically give a currency symbol. Also the items will be ordered based on the price.

Can Joomla do that?

Solution

  • Joomla can't do that by itself, but it's quite easy to implement such feature.

    Anyway I'd still suggest having two separate fields in form at least for validation and type hints.

    Probably you've seen in the backend that it does't let you save the form when one of the fields is invalid and it marks the field border with red color.

    If you are after speed in filling in forms, use tab button.
