Add form fields for singular/plural for suffix/prefix on numeric fields

This is a good idea, but I am going to wait until after 2.0 on this.

I came across this while trying to figure out how to do this with the Flag module, i.e.:

1 person likes this

OR

10 people like this

...depending on how many times the entity in question has been flagged.

I'm currently too overwhelmed to throw together a patch, but thought I'd offer another use case in lieu of the deadly "+1 subscribe."

Here's a patch.

I wouldn't do translatable here. format_plural does already use the t() function. But i'm not sure about this. Perhaps views would need a views_format_plural to fix this issue.

Well if they are already going to be translated by t then let's just make them not declared as translatable. I wasn't entirely sure what that meant in the context of these options, and where these values get used.

Removed the translatable attributes.

Looks fine and works fine for me. Perhaps it should be a definition enable/disable flag, but i'm not sure about it.

Committed to all branches.

this never made its way into the stable views release, i can confirm its in views-6.x-2.x but that one isnt displayed on the module page anymore
could it be included in the next views 2.x release? its a simple patch and it works fine

Yes there hasn't been a new release of Views for some time.

This does not give you license to randomly re-open issues.

so commited to all branches on July 28, 2010, and the last views release for 2.x is on 2010-Dec-15, where do i get my license from mr. merlinofchaos? please dont shoot me now

Perhaps you should read the release notes on the last release.

ok, i stand corrected, sorry for reopening this
