Sorry to trouble you all, because this really really must be simple, but I cannot see how to change the default currency??!?!

I go to Localisation > Currencies, and change Dollar to Pound, and USD to GBP, and $ to £. All prices dissapear and everything is priced 0.

So that doesn't work.

I thought I might make the Euro the default, and then change that to Pounds, but there is no variable to change to make a different currency the default currency. ?!?

I have also tried altering the 'Switch To Defualt Language Currency' in MyStore to true, but this makes no difference.

Obviously I am missing something very obvious, please would someone enlighten me.

( I have searched the forum both with the forum search and google, and I still can't find any information on this, which really puzzles me! )

Many thanks.

Thanks for your interest, but that doesn't work, in fact, now I have a permanent problem!?!

 

When I changed USD to GBP in english.php, nothing changed.

Then I changed the 'Switch To Defualt Language Currency' in MyStore to true. This time it made a difference, all the amounts went to 0.

So, then I changed the 'Switch To Defualt Language Currency' in MyStore to false, but this makes no difference. All the amounts are still 0.

So, then I changed GBP back to USD in english.php, but nothing changed!?

 

so, now all my amounts are 0.

 

Heeeeeeeeelp!!!!

Solved it with a bit of playing around. You have to change the currency in the currency box! It doesn't update automatically. No reason why it should really.

Sooo simple!

No wonder I couldn't find any posts about it, it was too simple.

Oh well, now there is a post.

Here it is.

Hope it helps someone one day.

NOT SOLVED!

 

When I come to the website, all the values for prices are now zero. Only when I click on the currency window and select a currency do I see prices.

 

Please would someone help me sort this out.

 

Many thanks.
