Changing the display on mod_currency_switch

Hello,

Does anybody know how to change the display for mod_currency_switch ? I would like to only display the symbol and not the currency name. I have search for a few hours and found a $currency->display() method, but the arguments were only the IDs and nothing else.

Thanks
Adrian

Hello,

The variable $currency is the HikaShop currency type.
If you want to change the display, best would be to edit the values ( $currency->values ) or to have your own display for the dropdown (with the help of the code in the HikaShop currency type).

Hello,

Apparently the display is a loop that goes on every key-value pair on the currency. Is that true ?

Yay !

The code to modify is in administrator/components/com_hikashop/types

in load(), I changed the last line to

Hi,

As Jerome said, you could change the line: in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/currency.php and remove .' '.$currency->currency_code to not have the code, only the symbol.
However, it would be better to do an override of the module via the template manager, and copy/paste the code of the type and modify it there.
That way, you wouldn't loose your changes after each update of HikaShop.
