Hi vtifu,

What PS version do you use? 

Default Theme, or different one?

 

If you use PS 1.5.x,

Check if you have the file:

themes/<your theme folder>/modules/blockcurrencies/blockcurrencies.tpl    (if so, make backup!!)

 

(if not, copy file /modules/blockcurrencies/blockcurrencies.tpl to themes/<your theme folder>/modules/blockcurrencies/blockcurrencies.tpl)

 

In the file, you should have some line like this:

  {foreach from=$currencies key=k item=f_currency}

 

Add the red code just before this blue line: (Sample code from PS 1.5.5.0)

 

<div id="currencies_block_top">

  <form id="setCurrency" action="{$request_uri}" method="post">

  <p>

    <input type="hidden" name="id_currency" id="id_currency" value=""/>

    <input type="hidden" name="SubmitCurrency" value="" />

    {l s='Currency' mod='blockcurrencies'} : {$blockcurrencies_sign}

  </p>

  <ul id="first-currencies" class="currencies_ul">

 

  {$curr_temp     = $currencies[0]} {* example: swap 1st with 2nd item *}

  {$currencies[0] = $currencies[1]}

  {$currencies[1] = $curr_temp}

  {foreach from=$currencies key=k item=f_currency}

    <li {if $cookie->id_currency == $f_currency.id_currency}class="selected"{/if}>

      <a href="javascript:setCurrency({$f_currency.id_currency});" title="{$f_currency.name}" rel="nofollow">{$f_currency.sign}</a>

    </li>

  {/foreach}

...

 

The red code is an example how to swap the items in the $currencies array (i.e. the currencies list). Not sure how many currency items you have, and what order you want them. If you need help with writing these swaps, let me know the original and the desired order.

 

 

 

If you use PS 1.6.x:

edit the same file (copy first if it doesn't exist. Don't forget to backup!)

 

Then add the red lines almost at the top, just after the blue line: (Sample code from 1.6.0.8)

 

<!-- Block currencies module -->

{if count($currencies) > 1}

  {$curr_temp     = $currencies[0]} {* example: swap 1st with 2nd item *}

  {$currencies[0] = $currencies[1]}

  {$currencies[1] = $curr_temp}

 

  <div id="currencies-block-top">

    <form id="setCurrency" action="{$request_uri}" method="post">

 

 

Save the file and refresh the front page. See if it works.

Hope this helps

Pascal.

Thanks for any help.
