Default currency for graphics, v. 2.5...

[fmeehan]

Hi

I work with 2 different currencies, Can-US. Since I am in Canada, how can I set the default currency for graphs to be canadian?

Does not seem to follow the user currency settings.

Regards,

Francois

Sorry, I cannot help with your question.

I'm a rookie at using forums. How do I post a general question on one of the threads?

The FAQ's assume a certain knowledge which I lack- but want to learn.

Thanks, edr

There is some logic error in the graphic module.

It picks up your currency preference and currency symbol and it attempts to convert to US dollar to display on the chart. To disable this conversion function in charts, edit the charts.php located at modules/Opportunities directory.

Search and comment out this statement by adding // in front of the statement:
// $div = $currency->conversion_rate;

That should do the trick.

I'm not sure about the error that mypal has posted. We'll take a look at that.

However, the correct way for a user to set their display currency is to click on "My Account", click Edit, and then choose the currency that the user wants his charts and forms to display in.

Currencies need to be first defined by an admin.

It seems that it doesn´t really matter what preferences are set by an admin or the Admin. The users must change the currency preference themselves. The conversion rate as well as the default Team is also a bit buggy.

I solved it by going into every account manually, made the necessary changes and set the conversion rate to 1/1.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies. For sure the only thing that fixes it is to put the currency rate at 1/1, but that defeat the purpose of having different currencies...

Look like this is a genuine bug to me....
