Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 ~HI~ We are in Central Europe and we must put Local Currencies first. We selected Czech Crowns as default...but it does not display first (it is hidden inside the drop down list)! Ugh... Each 'CATEGORY' is another URL in a <local> 1st Language Each 'CATEGORY' has <local> 'Products' you can buy... 1. Every time we add USD to the possible selection in 'osC administration,' it OVER-RIDES all other currencies in user pages. If we remove USD, EURO takes over... How do we make a prioritization of currencies displayed through different "Currencies:" drop down windows? ... 2. Can we link a <currency to display ~openly~ in the CURRENCIES box of the drop down window> with a CATEGORY (1st language) on a given page? Please keep in mind that our URLs each have a native 1st <local> language. This is Central Europe... Logically ~~~if you shop in Czech, you want to pay in Czech Crowns ~~~if you shop in Slovak, you want to pay in Slovak Crowns ~~~if you shop in Lithuanian, you want to pay in Lithuanian "Lits" So...our pages should each 1st display the basic <local currency> for the <local language>! Sure: you can change currencies, to see it or pay for it in Euros (or 'anything else' in our drop down list), for example, but you should always 'land' on the same langauge+currency as the change in your pocket...because 'you chose' the CATEGORY for the country-based URL in 'your' 1st Langauge Ideally, we should be able to link each currency to the 1st language/CATEGORY on each of the respective pages How to do this please? Need more explanation? We plan to use the Banner-to-Language contribution...and our thanks go out to Jef Allard for his work (of 13 Mar 2004) ~wherever he is, out there!! Many Many thanks to everybody....!!! :rolleyes:
♥Vger Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Check the three letter symbol for the currency in each of the language files - includes/languages/czech.php or slovak.php or lithuanian.php If they were copied from an english install then the currency listed will be 'USD' and this should be changed to the three letter international symbol for that currency e.g. Euros = 'EUR' Vger

Yes we used the English file on the download page. This will be rough, though. I still haven't found a wysiwyg editor for a graphics person like me. I tried the wysiwyg 1.7, but even on a fresh install, it was sick and did not work across our many language variants. Many thanks for this tip however!
♥Vger Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Download the file via FTP, take a backup in another name (just in case) and then edit the file you downloaded in a plain text editor like Notepad (not Word or Wordpad - they're not plain text editors). Then upload again via FTP, and if there's any problem you can restore from the backup you saved under another name before editing. DO NOT use the osCommerce File Manager to edit files under any circumstance. It causes Parse Errors. Vger
Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Thanks for the tip and the warning on not using File Manager (which was my next experiment)...but this is frankly discouraging. I need to do colorful text+graphics, not antiseptic black text; and only you professionals really know how to do things in php from Notepad. Clearly, it is easy for you experts, too! My market here in Central Europe will not respect a text only site center block, and will only laugh and click away in a heartbeat. [Respect: you guys are real programmers!] I have to insert jpgs and gifs and supplier banners inside the text I insert, as I would in html and I have done before in BV(an ASP)...and need to find a real graphics based program that lets me be reasonably graphic. All black tiny text just 'won't cut it,' here. Thanks for the thoughts, though.... I don't know what I am going to do, anymore... :sweating:
