Anyone else puzzled why the Template_Lite template engine for PHP does not include a number_format modifier by default? I was. I googled and didn’t find one in my short search so here it is:

function tpl_modifier_number_format($number, $decimals)
{
	if(!empty($number))
	{
		return number_format($number, $decimals);
	}
	else
	{
		return number_format(0, $decimals);
	}
}

Just save that into the template_lite/plugins folder as modifier.number_format.php and you’re all set. Now you can use this in your templates:

{$currentPrice|number_format:2}
