Welcome to the Drupal Ottawa User Group. We will use this group to develop the Drupal community in Ottawa, to plan local events (DrupalCamps, informal get-togethers, etc.) and to share success stories and planned / completed drupal implementations. Public servants (this is Ottawa after all) interested in deploying bilingual / Common Look & Feel compliant governmental web sites will find colleagues in this group facing the same challenges related to the introduction of drupal in the federal government.

Need some help customizing a module (mostly JS I think)
Hi,
I've been trying for a while now to customize the Webform Calculator module so that it displays the formula results with 2 decimal places. I have been following and commenting on the issue (https://www.drupal.org/node/2354949) but have not been successful in figuring out a solution.
