Currency + Paypal (Repost)

[Eljorf]

hi every one,

i have a store where the default currency is AED (Arab Emirates Dirham), i use Paypal for payment, the problem is that the AED, is not supported by paypal, i got the idea to change the currency to $ before confirming the checkout with the customer.

I have edited the confirm.tpl (paypal module) and i added the following code :

 

*****Code Begin*****

 

{if $currency->id != 2}

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

setCurrency(2);

</script>

{/if}

 

****Code End******

 

the idea is to call the function setCurrency with parameter 2 (dollar id), if it's not the current currency.

 

the problem is that i got the page refreshed but the currency doesn't change,

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance.
