Change Currency Drop Down Box default on all pages

[Vanquis]

Hi, Hopefully someone can help me. I'm new to osCommerce and have succesfully installed in on my website. I;ve pretty much figured everything out and am ready to start adding poducts.

 

One thing I would like to do do is change the currency that the drop down box on the main pages of the site defaults to. I've set GBP as default in admin etc, but the main site defaults to USD. Most of my customers will be in the UK. It's fine that you can change it, but when you click to to the cart it changes back to USD, and if you change it there, it changes back to USD at checkout and bills in USD.

 

Is there anything I can change to have this default to GBP.

 

I've tried deleting the USD currency in admin, but it sets all of the prices to 0 in the store.

 

Hope fully someone can help.

You need to edit

catalog / includes / languages / english.php

 

Around Line 39

This line

 

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

 

Change to

 

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

Brilliant Nic, thanks ever so much.

 

I don't suppose anone can tell me how to set file permissions to. I've tried using my FTP programme but I still get that red message across the top of my screen.

 

Again any help would be brilliant.
