dandareuk Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi Guys I do hope you can help me as I’ve searched endless help files and presta forums but nothing works. My store is the 1.5.4 version. Quite simply I want to display currency in GBP £ I have changed the default to GBP but there’s no edit symbol to change anything I installed the localization pack and it came through okay, but once again there was only one option and that was the dollar sign? Can you please tell me what I have to change to get the £ sign. Nothing in the back office will do it automatically? I am really struggling with this and the prestashop is great apart from this. My thanks in advance Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi dandareuk, when you uploaded the localization pack for "United Kingdom" did you make sure currency was checked? I just tried it on my install of 1.5.4 and when I imported the Localization pack for "United Kingdom" I was able to set the default currency to the Pound. Does the pound not even show up?

benjamin utterback Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Make sure to enable and disable the correct currencies in Localization>Currencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandareuk Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi and thanks but thats the problem? I have done that and GBP is enabled but the edit or symbol icons are greayed out? Whatever way you navigate around the admin theres no £ sign option anywhere? I am new to prestashop and cant understand why this si so much hassle?

dandareuk Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Cant change to £ symbol? Just to clarify. I have just gone to reinstall the localisation pack for UK and on the configuration for default currency only dollar is there so it’s impossible to change the default currency?

Edgeco Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi - I'm also installing 1.5.4 for my new business and have a currency query. Is the currency selection for the buyer automatic from the customer's email address or can the customer select a preferred currency from a menu on the home page (as with the 1.4 version I have used before). All I can see is a scruffy little black coloured block that seems to hover and flicker around the top of the r.h column, sometime positioning itself right over my New Products Block. Surely this can't be the currency menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandareuk Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi Benjamin. Yes the localisation currency is set for pound only and enabled. All the defaults are in pounds. But nothing will get rid of the $ sign at the front end? I am in depair with this because I can put products in yet and Im really out of time here? It seems this is a common problem and no one ahs the answer??? Anyone who is good with prestashop got any clue or idea? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgeco Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Dan I have also been fiddling in this area. Am not a developer but I did have something of the same problem. Try adding a dummy product (or a real one) and put the price in pounds sterling. In my case it changed the currency for all future product entries. I was also stuck with dollars until I input my first product in sterling. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandareuk Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks Edgeco but i dont quite understand what you mean? If I go to place a product in how can I do it £? The dollar sign is default in the pricng area and if you input the £ sign with the price istelf then it refuses and says the symbol is not allowed only numbers (for prices) I would appreciate any help with this because no one seems to ahve a clue?

Edgeco Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Dan regardless of what symbol is there just try inputting any product under "products" and saving it. If under Localization your default currency is set under GBP and your default country is set as United Kingdom or somewhere that uses sterling I think you may find that there is an automatic switch over to pounds. Give it a go. It doesn't need to be a real product, just give it a name like "Test Product" and enter a price (even ifi the pricing area provisionally shows in US dollars) in my case it then converted to pounds. You won't hurt anything by trying and you can always delete the test product afterwards. I'm no expert but I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
