Removing currency code letters in Ecommerce

[Brent Dykgraaf]

Hello

I am working on an ecommerce customisation an wonder if there is an option
to remove currency letters which show before the price generated by the
<@ofbizCurrency /> tags?

The store shows prices as NZ$34.50, I am trying to get them to show $34.50.
Customers will only be from one country so there is no need for mulit
currency at this stage.

Regards

Since your customer belongs to same country therefore, A simple option is to
-  Hard code your currency symbol and show ${itemPrice}

Or do store setting to show specified currency UOM.

Hi Brent,

As a fellow Kiwi I feel obliged to assist :-)

The currency formatter is actually quite smart and will display the currency letters when the supplied locale is differs from what it expects for the currency's isoCode.
Some examples:
locale: en_US, isoCode=NZD results in NZ$34.50  (Assumes you're an American looking at a New Zealand price)
locale: en_NZ, isoCode=NZD results in $34.50  (Assumes you're a New Zealander looking at a local price)
likewise if we turn the tables:
locale: en_NZ, isoCode=USD results in US$34.50
locale: en_US, isoCode=USD results in $34.50

so all you need to do is set the default OFBiz locale to en_NZ.

Regards
Scott
