Peda Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hi, Prestashop 1.4.5.1 version, template 1.5 (new template) Prestashop front office (blockcurrencies) always shows the Euro currency symbol. I wish, which currency I select, then the selected currency symbol shown default in the block. Otherwise is there any way to change the default symbol what I want? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Custom Designs Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 You need to set the shop currency in your BO. Marty Shue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peda Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Changing the default currency The default currency is the currency PrestaShop will display by default when a customer visits your online store. To change the default currency: Go to Back Office >> Payment >> Currencies In the Currencies options section, select a new default currency from the drop-down list. After applying above changes, still it is showing the Euro symbol default. How can I change the default symbol except the euro symbol in prestashop template 1.5?

msk69 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 got the same issue, and looked over the language files, and could not source it with a quick view.. Dollar is default currency, switching to another currency still shows the euro sign.. Think it's a bug.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peda Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think its about the new template. maybe its a bug. New Theme Upgrade: Currently, there's no updates for this theme. The latest version will be available in January with PrestaShop 1.5 Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prhps Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 still no solution. Now euro sign shows fixed sign, and for now I didn't find a variable. Someone knows the variable for active currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prhps Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 nope, you didn't. the problem is always showing euro sign, instead of the active one. the problem occurs only in prestashop new theme. they said they will fix it with the new theme release(together with prestashop release 1.5). But it's long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john74 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Same problem here when I uploaded the site on a new domain. No problem using my old domain (my domains and subdomains are well defined in administration for cross domain cookie management) Edited June 11, 2012 by john74 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vero20 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 There's no solution for this? I also have the euro sign even when I already changed it to dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi john and vero, Can you please post links to your sites where we can see this for ourselves? Additionally, what version of PrestaShop are you each using? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawb Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Hi, We are getting the same issue. The issues seems to be that when cache is turned on it is still loading the old currency. I have tried using $cookie->id_currency but it is returning the old curency id not the current currecnies id. Any ideas on how to stop this bug?

Mike Kranzler Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi dawb, Have you already cleared your smarty cache and smarty compile directories via FTP as well? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawb Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi Mike, Yes I have been doing it manually and it is currently working when I have force compile turned on. I have now turned force compile off so that you can see what's happening. Really apreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi dawb, When I visit your site, the currency block seems to work just fine, although you need to click outside of the block to submit the selection after changing the currency. However, that is likely due to the module itself and how it has been coded to work with your custom theme. Is this not how it works on your end? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawb Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi Mike, Currently for me it changes the currency for the pricing etc, but it does not change the current currency in the drop down once the page refreshes. So it is staying set to New Zealand dollars after you change it to say Pounds. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this appears to be a function of your custom theme, so I would recommend that you contact the theme developer directly for the most accurate advice on how to fix this. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawb Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks for your help Mike. To fix the problem I've added global $cookie to the index.php file in the block currencies folder and this has solved the issue. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my-name Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi Mike, I am just trying out prestashop newly. I have pretty much the vanilla install with the default template and I have set the currency to GBP everywhere I could but still the blocks at the top of the site default to Euro. Any idea how to solve this. It doesn't seem to have been fixed per the discussion above without editing one of the files. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawb Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi Assaff, This error is caused because Prestashop is caching the module by default so it does not update. The way to stop it from doing this is to edit the blockcurrencies.php file and add $smarty->caching = 0; under the hookLeftColumn function before the return. This should sort it our for you.

my-name Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi dawb, Thanks I will try that. I have a question. I am trying out Prestashop because I have used oscommerce for years a while back and always had to manually install any contributions and manually edit files to get it to look or behave the way I wanted, even just to change the shop logo or home page text (although admittedly its been about 3 years since I last used it so it may have moved on).It got to a point where I didn't want to upgrade to any newer versions of oscommerce in case I had to redo all my painstaking manual editing. I am a programmer but not really a php programmer and therefore I muddle my way through code changes. I love the fact that every module in prestashop just installs with a click and I have not had to edit any files so far at all in my tests. If I start editing files as you suggest am I getting back on to a slippery road of having to be wary of any upgrades to prestashop or installing incompatible modules to my edits?
