Bid confirmation Emails in Wrong Currency

I have auctions in two currencies on my site. \ \

Sellers are setting up auctions in Shekels and the confirmation email to buyers when they bid on the auction is coming back in USD. \ \

This is confusing to buyers and they are emailing me about it.\ \

Please see \ Auction 1199212821\

What needs to be done to fix this?

You should use the class:


Code: HTML
<!--Currency-->

where you want to display the item currency in all your emails instead of the default site language:


Code: HTML
[[currency]]

All emails are parsed the same as the view item page, so you can use anything you see in the view item template in your emails.

Thanks that was part of the Answer

Making the change you suggested got the currency description right but then I still was finding a $ sign in the emails.

I found the $ sign was entered in the currency item of the Language file, removed that and all is well.

Currency in Emails

Ahmed gave the answer, you need to put into your email text the Classes he suggested in answer to my question. This will fix the problem completely.

Re: Bid confirmation Emails in Wrong Currency

I'd say for you to update all the cgi files *.cgi, *.pm only, then for the language, copy the variables from our demo.
