UK currency does not work in my shop

Hello there,

 

Was wondering if someone could please help me. I am new to osCommerce and have encountered a problem.

 

I have set up a few products in a single category. I've also changed the Localization currency to GBP (default) and, as far as I know, changed everything so that the pricing should appear as GBP in my shop.

 

However, after this change everything simply appears as "0" (zero).

 

When I change it back to USD, it all works fine.

 

How can I resolve this problem please? (In simple terms for a novice if you don't mind!)

Have you reset the currency values? And made sure to enter the £ symbol on the left etc?

 

If GBP is going to be your default currency, set the value at 1

 

If you are going to add different currencies and leave GBP as your default currency, please use this site ( http://www.google.co.uk/ig?referrer=ign ). With GBP as your default currency, USD value should be reset to 1.9803 and EURO should be set to 1.25216567

 

Hope this helps. :)

Hi there,

 

Thank you so much for your reply.

 

Yes, I have entered the £ symbol on the left etc. and I've set the value at 1.0000.

 

I don't want to use different currencies, just GBP.

 

How do I reset the currency values?

 

Thank you in advance.

look in catalog\includes\languages\english.php and make

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

 

this

 

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

 

You may also have to set Admin ---> My Store --- > Default Language Currency to true.

Download load the file to your pc, make a copy, and open it in a text editor. If it needs changing, then change it and ftp the changed file back to where it come from. If it does not need changing, no futher action is required.

Sorry to bother you again. I have done as you said but I'm not sure where to upload the changed file to. It is currently in My Documents under catalog, includes and languages.

 

Thank you in advance.

You put the changed file where you got the original from. It does nothing when it is on your pc.

If You do have just one currency.

Go to currency class and hard code value to 1.
