Re: [Koha] How to change currency symbol?
While it is true that it is hardcoded in some places (i have noticed it when i glanced through the templates), my understanding is that the currency which has its exchange rate designated as 1 is picked up by Koha as the default currency. So if you added the Indian rupee, change the exchange rates of other currencies relative to it, and set itself to 1. i am unable to verify this immediately, but i remember that this has come up on the list before, and perhaps is on the help page as well. regards,krishnan --- On Sun, 28/6/09, Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> wrote: From: Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> Subject: Re: [Koha] How to change currency symbol?

Vimal, I beleive it is hard coded, you need to change them in individual pages.
True, and there is an open bug report for it, of sorts: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2547 As I comment in the bug report: it sounds like we need some changes to the "Currencies and Exchange Rates" interface to enable the designation of a particular currency as the default. Once we're able to establish a default currency we could set a system-wide variable for that currency and modify the templates to include the proper symbol. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha Cricket on your mind?
