I only have GBP, EUR and USD and this is the order I wish to achieve.

See: www.prestigeringcompany.com/index.php and you will note the order is USD, EUR, GBP

I have deleted and reset the currencies to try and change the order and I have tried kuroi's fix and changed the currency title to try and influence any alphabetic sort, etc... but I am having no luck and slowly going mad...

Would anybody know how I can achieve the preferred sort order of GBP EUR USD ...???

Thank you kindly in advance...

Hello,

Also trying to get the above. Any solution pls?

Thank you

Berserker,

The problem is that Zen Cart doesn't have a built-in sort order capability for currencies like it has for languages. You would have to modify your admin currencies page and the database currencies table in order to implement a sort order.

Here's the steps to do so - please make a backup of your database and affected files first!

1. Add the sort order field to the currencies table - run this query from Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches:

PHP Code:

---

ALTER TABLE currencies ADD sort_order INT(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'; 


---

2. Edit admin/currencies.php so you can enter a sort order:
after this line (line 42):

PHP Code:

---

$value = zen_db_prepare_input((float)$_POST['value']); 


---

add this line

PHP Code:

---

$sort_order = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['sort_order']); 


---

edit the sql query at line 45 so it reads:

PHP Code:

---

        $sql_data_array = array('title' => $title,
                                'code' => $code,
                                'symbol_left' => $symbol_left,
                                'symbol_right' => $symbol_right,
                                'decimal_point' => $decimal_point,
                                'thousands_point' => $thousands_point,
                                'decimal_places' => $decimal_places,
                                'value' => $value,
                                'sort_order' => $sort_order); 


---

before this line at line 200,

PHP Code:

---

                <td class="dataTableHeadingContent" align="right"><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_ACTION; ?>&nbsp;</td>

---

add this line:

PHP Code:

---

                <td class="dataTableHeadingContent" align="center"><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_SORT_ORDER; ?></td>

---

Edit the query at line 204 so it reads:

PHP Code:

---

  $currency_query_raw = "select currencies_id, title, code, symbol_left, symbol_right, decimal_point, thousands_point, decimal_places, last_updated, value, sort_order from " . TABLE_CURRENCIES . " order by sort_order"; 


---

after this line at line 225,

PHP Code:

---

                <td class="dataTableContent" align="right"><?php echo number_format($currency->fields['value'], 8); ?></td>

---

add this line

PHP Code:

---

                <td class="dataTableContent" align="right"><?php echo $currency->fields['sort_order']; ?></td>

---

After this line at line 269,

PHP Code:

---

      $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_INFO_CURRENCY_VALUE . '<br>' . zen_draw_input_field('value')); 


---

add this line

PHP Code:

---

      $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_INFO_CURRENCY_SORT_ORDER . '<br>' . zen_draw_input_field('sort_order')); 


---

After this line at line 286

PHP Code:

---

      $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_INFO_CURRENCY_VALUE . '<br>' . zen_draw_input_field('value', $cInfo->value)); 


---

add this line

PHP Code:

---

      $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_INFO_CURRENCY_SORT_ORDER . '<br>' . zen_draw_input_field('sort_order', $cInfo->sort_order)); 


---

3. Add the two new language definitions to admin/includes/languages/english/currencies.php (or to a new file in admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/)

PHP Code:

---

define('TABLE_HEADING_SORT_ORDER', 'Sort Order');
define('TEXT_INFO_CURRENCY_SORT_ORDER', 'Sort Order:'); 


---

4. Edit the file includes/classes/currencies.php (this is a core file - no override capability)

Modify the query at line 27 to read:

PHP Code:

---

    $currencies_query = "select code, title, symbol_left, symbol_right, decimal_point,
                         thousands_point, decimal_places, value, sort_order 
                         from " . TABLE_CURRENCIES . " order by sort_order"; 


---

You should be done...now you can add/edit sort orders for the currencies from admin, and they should be displayed in that order in the header.

Hi,

As per an earlier post, I've modified the currency display into a drop down list by replacing all the codes in tpl_header_currencies with:

$content = "";
$content .= zen_draw_form('currencies_form', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get');
$content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], 'onchange="this.form.submit();"') . $hidden_get_variables . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= '</form>';

echo $content;
?>

However the drop down list displays the currency with my left symbol (US$, S$ etc). I'm trying to display the full title of the respective currency instead (US Dollar, Singapore Dollar etc), just like that on http://www.serahsonline.com

Will some kind soul please advise on this? Thanks!

Edit your copy of includes/modules/header_currencies.php
replace this line:

PHP Code:

---

        $currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => (zen_not_null($value['symbol_left']) ? $value['symbol_left'] : $value['symbol_right']) ); 


---

with this:

PHP Code:

---

        $currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']); 


---

Thanks, that worked perfectly!

To have the language links display on the checkout pages, edit includes/modules/header_languages.php
change this section of code at lines 12-18:

PHP Code:

---

// test if box should display
  $show_currencies= false;

  // don't display on checkout page:
  if (substr($current_page, 0, 8) != 'checkout') {
    $show_currencies= true;
  } 


---

to be just:

PHP Code:

---

// test if box should display
  $show_currencies= true; 


---

Make exactly the same edit to the file includes/modules/header_currencies.php if you want the currency links to display on checkout pages.

Thank so much for the reply. :smile:

A download a: Contribution: Language/Currency Links in Header
Hay to install?
Whare to put code into tpl_header.php?
