Wrong currency symbol shown in VirtueMart Paypal checkout

  • VirtueMart 1.1

This is actually a major bug in the VirtueMart Paypal integration. In a multi-currency store the currency symbol is completely ignored by the Paypal payment module and is passed as the VirtueMart store default currency symbol
I found this solution in the VirtueMart Forums.



Joomla VirtueMart Euro Order Joomla VirtueMart Paypal Order Currency Symbol


In a multicurrency VirtueMart store, even if you are checking out in a non-default currency the currency symbol passed is always the default currency symbol.








From the backend of your Joomla installation go to Components-->VirtueMart then Store-->List Payment Methods.
Click on the Paypal entry and go to the Configuration tab. Add the code below right at the top just after the opening php tag. 
$currencysymbol = "";
if ($_SESSION['product_currency'] == "EUR" )
      {
      $currencysymbol = "EUR";
      }
elseif ($_SESSION['product_currency'] == "GBP" )
      {
      $currencysymbol = "GBP";
      }
else
{$currencysymbol = "USD";}
and then find the line --> 
"currency_code" => $_SESSION['vendor_currency'],
and change to --> 
"currency_code" => $currencysymbol,

I've got "Fatal error: Call to a member function f() on a non-object in public_html/components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/pages/checkout.thankyou.tpl.php(61) : eval()'d code on line 34"
If you bother to give a suggestion, make it as clear as possible
Use vm_orders order_currency on your Paypal script

Hi:

I had the same problem, but I have now fixed the Paypal script.

Use the following code:

$dbsi = new ps_DB;
$q_si = "SELECT order_currency FROM #__vm_orders ";
$q_si .= "WHERE #__vm_orders.order_id='$order_id'";
$dbsi->query($q_si);
$order_currency = $dbsi->f("order_currency");

then on the array, change the following code

"currency_code" => $order_currency,
