hello.

i’m trying to translate auction and dataface files into polish lang.
i’ve found menu items and change them to polish but i can’t find code entry that displays currency sign. default sign is us dollar $ but i want to change it to PLN (polish currency) or euro (EUR) sign.

where in code/files i can change this ?

thanks for any support.

Right now you’ll probably have to change this manually inside the source code files.Ê I believe that there’s only about 2 places in the tables/products/products.php file.

Also you can find one (total bid amount) in conf\ApplicationDelegate.php

There are a lot more, i think it should be an option in the .ini-File.

Agreed, this should be in an INI file.

Indeed a lot more. But until they’re in an INI file, a (probably non-final) list of what to change to get the currency to something else:

* changed ‘$’ to ‘€ ’ in (found those with grep -r “’$’” *)
** function high_bid_amount__display in tables/products/products.php
** function current_bid__display in tables/products/products.php
** function minimum_bid__display in tables/products/products.php
** function handle in action/reports.php
** fucntion getAuctionWinnerMessage in include/functions.inc.php
* changed $ to &euro  in (found those with grep -r ‘\$’ * | more)
** function block__before_main_column in conf/ApplicationDelegate.php
** function handle in actions/watchlist
