Configuring Default Currency From USD to AUD

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

Having a little trouble changing my default currency

from USD to AUD (Australian).

 

This is what I did.

 

1. Created a new AUD currency and made it's value 1.00

2. I then changed the Default currency in the english.php file to AUD

3. I deleted the other currencies inside my admin

4. I changed "Switch To Default Language Currency" to TRUE.

5. I then uploaded via "Easy Populate" all the products again.

 

My prices are still at Zero?

 

Is there something that I did wrong? I would love someone

to help me out with this one.

 

Take Care,

Michael,

 

You probably did, but I thought I would ask.......did you make the AUD currency the default in the Admin area under localization>currencies ??

Sounds like you have done #15 and #27 in

What is the default language and try changing the

 

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

 

to

 

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'AUD');

 

in every /includes/languages/xxxxxx.php file.

 

Try changing the currency sign and see if it appears in your shop.

 

Enjoy

Hi G,

 

I have changed the default currency in the other

files that are in the languages folder.

 

They are...

 

espanol.php

german.php

 

I have changed them from their default to "AUD"

 

Still no prices on the site?

 

Not sure what you mean by changing the currency sign?

 

Any other advice?

 

Take Care,

In your database what is the default currency set to? Use phpmyadmin to view this in the currencies table.

I have found in the past that if i delete an old default currency i need to first select the new default currency via the currency box.

If you have already deleted the old currency then you will need to make the change or at least check it via the SQL tool.

Hope this helps

Hi Fimble,

 

I have checked in my database and I can see that the currency is set to AUD?

Here are pics of all the settings I have done.

And this one...

This really has me stumped? Could it be anything else?

 

Take Care,

This one could be causing you issues as you only have the one currency installed, my language is English and my default currency is GBP, someone from the USA: language is English but thier default is USD, you are in Australia and your default is English yet your currency is AUD.

Try switching it to false
