Help! Currency signs not showing correctly in store

[Guest]

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows how to fix a currency sign error I am encountering. My prices are set to GBP and should be showing in £ but are not. I have tried altering the settings in Administration and read previous posts on the problem, but it will still only display question marks and not the correct £ signs. My store is almost ready to go live

www.businessauto.co.uk

I have spent months tweeking the PHP code to suit me, therefore I wish to avoid the clean install route if at all possible...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

David

The answer being to replace GBP with

& # 8 3 5 6;

(remove the spaces between the characters) which is the ascii code for a £ sign with two horizontal bars, like this ₤

Replace GBP where?

never mind - used this and it worked for me:

 

1. Open up includes/languages/english.php
2. Change the define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD'); to define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

Hi Philth

 

Thanx for the reply, however the GBP you refer to no longer works... maybe a bug or something?
