Condition issue?

-- HikaShop version -- : 6.1.0
-- Joomla version -- : 5.3.4
-- PHP version -- : 8.3

Hi HikaShop team,

I’m experiencing an issue with a price calculation condition using decimal values.

Here’s the condition I’m trying to use:

When {shape} has a value like 0.4, the condition does not work.
However, when I change the value from the shape into (for example 2), the condition works correctly.

So it looks like decimal numbers (with a dot) are not being parsed or compared properly inside conditions, while integers are.

But also, why will these conditions don't work?


Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Lumiga

Hi,

Ideally, I would recommend avoiding decimals as much as possible with PHP. That will avoid issues.
You could multiply everything by 100 here. That way, you would have the values 3 and 40 and in the condition, you would have {shape}>30 and it would be mathematically the same, but without any decimals. And if you need to use {shape} in the formula, you can always divide it by 100 in the formula.

However, your custom field can have both strings and numbers: 0.4 and 0.03 are numbers but overig is a string.
And then you're using > in the condition. But "overid > 0.3" doesn't make sense since you can't mathematically compare a word and a number.
That might actually be a bigger problem here.
