Changing Currency Does Not Save New Currency

[govindbaker]

Hi,

 

I have a new site that we are trying to finish off.

http://austinracing.shopcreator.com/index.php?id_product=16&controller=product

 

Unfortunately there appears to be an issue with changing currencies.

I have set up 2 currencies. USD and GBP.

 

When I change to USD the ajax request is made and appears to pass through what is expected.

 

Then it reloads the product page but when it does it has not changed the currency.

 

I have checked and it appears to change the encrypted cookie value in my browser but the currency is still in pounds.

 

I have changed the setting to get currency/country from browser settings to off as has been suggested elsewhere but this makes no difference.

 

I have gone into the ChangeCurrencyController and checks that it gets there and outputted the $this->context->cookie->id_currency which is showing as changed (14 USD). But when I output the same value in the init of the product controller it is showing as 2 (GBP).

 

Any ideas why the cookie might be being overridden when the page reloads back to the default currency.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Govind

Hi Govind welcome to PrestaShop,  great  looking shop.

 

I've seen this issue and it seems related often to the back office-->localization-->localization

 

Where it says Set default country from browser language

 

Disable and retest

Thanks for your response but as stated I have already changed this setting and it has made no difference

sorry about that, I missed it.  You may want to contact the theme developer, this works perfectly fine in native.

Do you have any idea at all where I could start looking? It seems to call the correct things so just wondered where to start looking into where cookies get encrypted and set?

Similiar problem happened to me without any direct clues, perhaps upgrade to newer jQuery broke it. I had modified Tools.js setCurrency function as:

 

 

function setCurrency(id_currency)
{
$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
headers: { "cache-control": "no-cache" },
url: baseDir + 'index.php' + '?controller=change-currency&id_currency='+parseInt(id_currency),
success: function(msg)
{
location.reload(true);
}
});
}

 

and now block currency is again working.
