ColdFusion Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hi, I've successfully installed v2.2MS1 but I cannot change the default currency in the Admin section even though I've hit the Update Currencies button about a thousand times after setting GBP as the default currency. US $ are not much use in the UK! I've searched through the forums and others seem to have had the same problem. Nothing I've tried works and I'm not getting any error messages. Is this a 'known issue'? Can anyone help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 When you put GBP as your default , dont forget to put 1.0000000 in the value and when finish click upgate currencie HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFusion Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 Thanks but already tried that. However, I think I now have a solution - I had automatically update currency to language set to True. Setting it to false solved the problem. A possible bug maybe as osCommerce must think that if the language is English then the currency must be US$ even if the default currency is set to GBP.

Nice one. Had the exactly the same problem myself and couldn't figure out why it didn't work. Thanks for the tip ColdFusion. This weekend I'm gonna' look into the PHP source code and see if I can work out a bug fix for it. Thanks again. Tony Collings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo2 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I have the following problem when the option "switch to language currency" is True. My default currency and language are Russian. When I switch to English, everything is OK - prices are in USD correctly calculated. But when I switch back to Russian language, the prices become zeroes, and currency is still USD in ALL pages. One have to manually select the right currency to be able to see the prices. Added later: I figured out what the problem was. The currency name in the currencies table and in the language file must me the same. I had RUB in tables, and RUR in russian.php. After making both RUB everything works OK.
