changing currency in RP 2.8d?

[snoopy5]

Hi

I just copied/ftp the few changed files of 2.8d over my 2.8c fresh installation, as instructed inthe update information in this forum.

No I try to change the currency from USD into Euro.

I achieved this for the avarage price, but not for the reviews itself.

in review.php I have now the following:

----------------

$username = addslashes( $User['username'] );
$review = addslashes( $review );
$pros = addslashes( $pros );
$cons = addslashes( $cons );
$price = str_replace( "€", "", $price );
$price = str_replace( "€", "", $price );
if ( !is_numeric($price) ) $price = 0;

-----------------------------

But it does not work. It still shows the USD sign in the reviews. How to fix this?

I believe the price is handled in showproduct. There are two instances of the US format in that file.

o.k., thanks, I found it. It was the line:

$price[$itemnum] = "\$" . number_format( $priceline, 2 );

I changed it to:

$price[$itemnum] = "€" . number_format( $priceline, 2 );


For the average price I changed earlier already in showproduct.php this line:

$avgprice = "$" . number_format( $avgprice, 2 );

to this line:

$avgprice = "€" . number_format( $avgprice, 2 );

thanks, this thread is usefull to me. I have one more thing to ask about the currency. How to change the writing form. FYI: In our country, we use dot instead of comma, for example: 100.000 instead of 100,000 to write one hundred thousand. Currently, if user writes using dot then the number after dot will not appeared. Pls help.

[Chuck S]

You dont write the dot

if ( $askprice > 0 ) $askprice = "{$Globals['currency']}" . number_format( $askprice, 2 );


We use php's build in number formatting. You can change it by changing the arguement a bit. More info found here

For the sake of others: I just made changes for this in showproduct.php for European appearing of numbers. I did it for my classifieds 2.4.2 installation, but I guess it is the same in Reviewpost.

In Euro you have the numbers appearing like this: 1.500,00 (in USD this would be 1,500.00)

Change this (US appearance):

number_format( $askprice, 2 );

to this (European appearance):

number_format( $askprice, 2, ',', '.');

[Chuck S]

yes correct the php number format

what would you do to give the option for cdn? we still use. Is it possible to give mutiple currency options. IE USD, CDN, EURO?

[Chuck S]

This is a way old thread. The program has us euro and british pounds by default basically to add canadian you would need to hack your showcat and showproduct files to give that option.

Perhaps I was hasty in this purchase. I can't figure out where the reference is. I'll start another thread to discuss it then.

[Chuck S]

We have as stated Euro US and Pounds in the classifieds not canadian
