Link currency to language

[falatrax]

Hi!

 

I just added a second language (english) to my site. When a customer switch the site to english I want to switch the currency to Euro. How can I do that, how can I link a currency to language ?

 

thanks.

In "classes/Tools.php" locate this code below:

public static function switchLanguage()
{
	global $cookie;

	if ($id_lang = (int)(self::getValue('id_lang')) AND Validate::isUnsignedId($id_lang))
		$cookie->id_lang = $id_lang;
}

Remplase for this below:

public static function switchLanguage()
{
	global $cookie;
	if ($id_lang = (int)(self::getValue('id_lang')) AND Validate::isUnsignedId($id_lang))
 {
		$cookie->id_lang = $id_lang;

		switch($id_lang)
  {
			case 1: //if lang_id that's changed to is = 1 than...
				$cookie->id_currency = 1;  //change the currency too, the currency that has the id 2
				self::setCurrency();
				break;
		}		}
}

The problem with this is that after not giving you the ability to change the currency as long as you choose English

If you need to create more conditions, only adds more:

			case 1: //if lang_id that's changed to is = 1 than...
				$cookie->id_currency = 1;  //change the currency too, the currency that has the id 2
				self::setCurrency();
				break;

Only change "case 1:" to id language you need and "$cookie->id_currency = 1;" to currency for that case.

Remenber activate Forze compile.

For 1.6.1.x
 
open /classes/Tools.php
 
find this code:

$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance(Configuration::get('PS_CURRENCY_DEFAULT'));

replace for this

$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance(1);

 
number 1 = currency id
