USD/GBP Currency Problem


LummyPie

Recommended Posts

Hi All...

 

I have a problem I thought I'd solved by 'cheating' but in fact it hasn't sorted it at all.

 

My site sells stuff in GBP (?) but for some reason, if I use just GBP as the currency, osC doesn't recognise it, and all prices are listed as 0 on the shop.

 

I thought I'd solved it by putting in the currency description as USD, and instead of using the dollar sign as the symbol, using the GBP one. This worked fine when using PayPal as the means of payment, but now we are using WorldPay, which seems to work fine except that the payment defaults into USD... obviously no good to me!

 

I've read other posts that suggest setting up another currency which seems to fix the problem, but unless I am doing something wrong, this has not worked for me. Would one of you kind and forgiving people ;) be kind enough to offer any words of advice??

 

Thanks in advance

Did you created a new default currency?

In the edit did you put 1.0000000 as the value and then click on update currencies button ?

and in the catalog/includes/languages/english.php around line 36

 

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used w$

 

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

Change it to whatever you need

This has indeed solved my problem. All is well, and I can now sleep at night :)

 

I am double happy as I have also sorted out a seperate problem I had with WorldPay.

 

Thanks again for your help,

Tim,

 

Dead easy mate. There is a contribution at

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,882

 

and if you follow the instructions exactly it works no problem. You need a Junior Installation ID Number, and its easy to test the account.

 

Any probs, PM me, and I'll try to help. I'm no expert by any means, but have a bit of basic knowledge, so if I can do it, anyone can!!
