OK this is probably a basic question, but in this post here, you mention that Price needs to be a float; I created a Price field but chose 'integer'.... so my question is: what is 'float' and how can I rectify this now without having to create a new Price field and go through my templates again?

Thanks!

Float is floating point, which means anything with a decimal. If you want non-integer numbers (as are conventional in currency for indicating cents as well as dollars), you want float.

Use phpmyadmin to edit field types.
