in basecartitem class quantity should be float about django-shop HOT 13 CLOSED

You mean Decimal?

from django-shop.

yes

from django-shop.

There are quite a lot of other places it should be changed as well:

• OrderItem
• CartItem
• get_cart_item_formset (https://github.com/divio/django-shop/blob/master/shop/forms.py#L35)

from django-shop.

Yes, add_product we need to replace int with decimal - https://github.com/divio/django-shop/blob/master/shop/models/defaults/bases.py#L143

from django-shop.

I can see why there would be a need for this. In my own experience I have had cases where I have wanted decimal type quantities in an ecommerce environment which didn't offer them.

The only thing is that a decision would need to be made on the default max_digits and decimal_places if using django.db.models.DecimalField.

Basically this is need for marketing issues.
Its a marketing problem, that had to be solved with programmers help.

For example, one meter of textile cost a $12.
But you can't buy 1 meter of textile - you can buy only a pack of textile, in pack is a 2.75 meters.
One way - you need to set price in packs at you admin area, and this is a right way, cause goods sends in packs.
But marketers saying, no we need to set price in meter, its looks much cheaper in meters.
In fact, when you buy 1 meter - its only a 1/3 part of one goods. But you can purchase 1/3 of goods, so actually you're buying 2.75 meters, or 5.50, or 8.25 meter and etc, and this value you need to store in database.
Cause seller want to have prices in meters.

Guys, hope you understand my English.
I'm sorry about that.

Wouldn't just using a smaller metric solve the problem? For example, using grams instead of kg?

from django-shop.

Well, sometimes client want to see kg, and don't want to see grams

sad true

you could make a templatetag or filter that converts to the desired unit ;)
