Problem with multiple currencies

[albert.arroyo]

Hi,
with Joomla 2.5.11 and VM 2.0.20b.
I have a shop with multiple currencies (€ and $). € is default currency.
The process is:
- user login
- user change the default currency € -> $ with default module VM - CURRENCIES SELECTOR. The products change correctly the amounts.
- user make an order. The frontend order is correct. The user has all the time the amount with his currency (and Vm noticed in the final checkout the total amount in default currency, in this case, €).
- in backend the order is saved in € (for me correct).

The problems comes now:
- the user email confirmation, the total amount is calculated in €, but the currency that is shown is $  (conflict with user, that in frontend have seen total amount in $ and the email order confirmation see a different amount).
- the VM email confirmation for the admin, the same problem.
Example for more comprehension:
1€ -> 2$
User Order: 10$
Saved in backend Order: 5€
Email user confirmation: 5$ -> Error
Email VM admin confirmation: 5$ -> Error

I think the correct process will be:
- Email user confirmation: 10$ -> notification with the currency that he made all the VM process
- Email VM admin confirmation: 5€ -> always the default currency

In database, table virtuemart_orders:
order_currency, user_currency_id allways set with default currency. In the process checkout, and user register, I've never seen the option to set the currency or something like that.

What could be the solution for this? Some override to solve it? If there are the fields in the tables, it's possible to control the values? This change could affect in other places?

Thanks!

Please test vm2.0.21 latest. Today should come 2.0.22 officially.

Hi,
it's still 2.0.21 (Test versions).
This bug is solved in new version?
Thanks for reply!

I'm just updated to VM 2.0.22 and not solved yet.

When I change the currency and make and order, the amount it's not with the selected currency in the email user order confirmation (allways with default currency).
This is for some reason?
I have the shop with default currency in €.
It's quite confuse for the user, that make an order with $, and receive a confirmation email with total amount in €.

How could override this?
In table virtuemart_orders there are: order_currency and user_currency_id, what's the utility of this if allways contains the default currency value? Is possible to control the selected currency and when the user make an order change change this values for the selected currency, and after that, for the email order confirmation show the amounts with this currency?

Thanks!

you have a shop currency, a payment currency and a user currency. You should be sure not to use any overrides.

[albert.arroyo]

No, I'm use a default VM and a default template with no overrides.
I'm just testing the flux of VM to make and order with another currency that is not the default

Hello

you have a shop currency, a payment currency and a user currency. You should be sure not to use any overrides.

and an email currency

The shop currency is the one defined in your shop
The user currency is the one selected by a user via the Currency module

You can create a payment method, and tell that this payment method will do the transaction in another currency
and also tell in which currency the email will be sent (the vendor currency= the one defined in your shop) or the payment currency

What did you set for tax rate in the payment and shipping plugins. If you did set 'Default Rules', switch it to something else and try if that things still occur.

e-mail arrives with the symbol of the selected currency, but the price is in the currency vendor

It is template issue.  Bug if you call function

Code Select Expand

$this->currency->priceDisplay() in invoice templates

change

Code Select Expand

echo $this->currency->priceDisplay(  $item->product_subtotal_with_tax ,$this->currency);

on

Code Select Expand

echo $this->currency->priceDisplay(  $item->product_subtotal_with_tax ,0);

This is example there are a lot of places where code must be fixed.
