Users - Foreign Currency Prices Show Up Zero

The way the price is determined for display is a BEAST
to say the least.  Because it takes into account
several things...
1) Various Prices set in the ProductPrice Entity
2) Price Rules set in the
ProductPrice(Rule/Condition/Action) Entities
3) Promotional Prices set in ProductPromo Group
Entity(10+ entities if I recall)
4) Currency
5) Other things I haven't looked into

...I don't think anyone has yet had a need or rather
enough of a need for this to work seemlessly in all
possible scenarios (ie showing multiple currencies to
the same user at the same time).  However with more
people using the web to sell digital products or
products available for download the want (but probably
not need) is perhaps there.  

A workaround to accomplish what you're wanting to
accomplish in a basic sense is I believe (haven't
personally tested) to create the differences apps
(search the lists for how to) for each supported
currency.  changing the name of the app as well as the
website and product store associated with the webapp.
And then placing links on a start page for the user to
determine which store they should be using.

Please, anyone more familiar with the pricing logic
comment.

My store's default currency is USD. Does that mean I
can not put prices in
any other currency? Is there a way around?

Subject: [OFBiz] Users - Foreign Currency Prices Show
Up Zero

Hello,

I have one store (defaultCurrencyUomId="USD") that has
two catalogs, one
that has prices in USD and the other in INR (Indian
Rupee). The catalog with
USD prices shows correct prices but the catalog with
INR prices shows 0
prices. In this catalog, if I just change the
ProductPrice entity for any
product to have currencyUomId="USD" (from
currencyUomId="INR"), the price
shows up correctly in USD. What am I missing? Do I
need to define something
else somewhere (which may have already been defined
for USD)?

Regards,
Vinay Agarwal
