Float of 10.50 saving as 10.5

[joer80]

Is it possible to have a float field not drop an ending 0?

Thanks!

You could try using the FieldTypeDecimal module for this. If I remember correctly, there is a setting to specify number of decimal places in there.

10.5 and 10.50 in terms of calculation is exactly the same. If you need this for output on the frontend side, then you could do a simple PHP number_format.

Its for the backend.  People are entering money that I want to be sortable on the front end and it is odd to enter money into the backend and not have the option for 2 decimal spots.

The FieldTypeDecimal module worked to allow people to enter cents! 

Do you think this should be in core or if we should allow the core float field to do this?  I would think entering money would be very common?

This has been discussed before. I'm not against it, but I'm also fine with using the module. It works reliably.
