Getting rid of leading US from ofbizCurrency macro

[Leon Torres-2]

Hey, how do I get rid of the leading "US" from the output of <@ofbizCurrency>
when it generates "US$10.00"?

Hi Leon

I can't see how you could do it, but have a look in
UtilFormatOut.formatCurrency() and here
http://icu.sourceforge.net/userguide/formatNumbers.html#currency_formatting

depends on how deep you want to go into ofbiz.

if you have just one page you want to change, you could just comment out
the line and make a new line with out
ofbizCurrency

or  you can add a substring function in the bsh file and call it instead
of <@ofbizCurrency>

or you could make a screen widget for the page and not use ofbizCurrency.

or you could go to
framework/webapp/src/org/ofbiz/webapp/ftl/OfbizCurrencyTransform.java
and change the code.

missed one
you can change the class load  for ofbizCurrency
in
FreeMarkerWorker.java

Well I had to dig in and look at UtilFormatOut.formatCurrency.

It's using the ICU4j formatter to generate the currency.  The strange thing is
when I write a test class to compare the difference between that NumberFormatter
and the default Java one, I don't see a difference.  They both print "$10.00".
   But somehow in my ofbiz the number comes out "US$10.00".

Anyone know why this is?   I found a currency format string in
general.properties "##0.00" but playing with this doesn't fix the problem.

What is causing ICU4j to print "US$10.00" instead of "$10.00" like it's supposed to?

Probably the locale. The same currency will display differently in  
different locales with most such libraries, even the ones that come  
with the standard Java API.
