Currency selector broken using template from template-help.com

[Marre]

- Using the latest version of Zen Cart
- No updates being made, installed latest version directly.
- No addons installed whatsoever, yet.
- None, besides the template mentioned below.
- Working on WAMP-server, so no URL available.

I bought this template osc3.template-help.com /zencart_22974/ from zencartwebsite .com, as it was a lot cheaper than on for example Template Monster. I don't even know if they are a legitimate retailer, but I am both poor and pennywise, so I did anyway - but that's another story.

It works quite well, except that the currency selector has quit working, it says $currencies_array = instead of showing the selector. I have tried to edit the settings and even turning it off in "Layout Boxes Controller" (currencies.php), but it's still there.
If I have more than one language to chose from, they line up vertically instead of horizontally, which is also wrong. For now I don't want to show the language selector at all, but it won't go away if I try to shut it off either, just like the currency selector.

So, it seems changes I do in "Layout Boxes Controller" won't be visible with the template I use, is there any way to fix this? Or do I need to go into the template code and make changes, in that case: What do I do, and in what files?

In order to determine whether it's a template issue you should consider switching to template classic to see if the problem persists. If the bug disappears nothing should be wrong with your ZenCart installation.

It works with the standard theme that comes with ZC, and I can add it to the template, but it's clearly an error in the template.
I THINK that this is the currency selector thing I found in the template's code, but I really don't know what's wrong hehe...

<div class="col2">
<div class="indent">
<div class="col1"> <b><?php echo BOX_HEADING_CURRENCIES; ?>:</b><br>
</div>
<div class="col2">
<?=zen_draw_form('currencies', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get')?>
<?
if (isset($currencies) && is_object($currencies)) {
reset($currencies->currencies);
$currencies_array = array();
while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies)) {
$currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']);
}
$hidden_get_variables = '';
reset($_GET);
while (list($key, $value) = each($_GET)) {
if ( ($key != 'currency') && ($key != zen_session_name()) && ($key != 'x') && ($key != 'y') ) {
$hidden_get_variables .= zen_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);
}
}
}
?><?=zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], ' onchange="this.form.submit();"') . $hidden_get_variables . zen_hide_session_id()?>
</form>
</div>

You really need to talk to the template designer. We do not support purchased templates.

Oki. I'll wait for a friend of mine, who's somewhat of a "code guy" to get back from a vacation, and have him take a look at it. If he can't solve it, I'll try to find support elsewhere.

For giggles and grins.
Use ultra compare or beyond compare and compare a version of 139h and your template. Maybe they are using an old version of code from zencart..

Just a thought

I might add that I tried and successfully added a currency selector through the "Layout Boxes Controller", to the left column. However, I like the thing with the currency selector in the upper right corner. So how do I change it to make it work?
