VM 3.4 PayPal No Shop Currency defined & odd characters

[Mike J]

Hi there,

Since upgrading to VM 3.4 users checking out with PayPal are seeing A with ^ above it on the PayPal side (see image attached) and are also met with:

Warning
No Shop Currency defined! Go to /index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop

on the thank you page.

Vendor, PayPal settings and thank you page warning are shown on the attached image.

Not a massive problem but any ideas or suggestions to resolve welcome.

and have u defined Oz $ in both fields on /index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop ?

[Mike J]

G'day GJC Web Design,

Are you referring to the administrator section ie: /administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop or does every user need to select their currency?

 /administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop

-> currency

both fields

[Mike J]

Hey, thanks so much.

If you see that image I attached earlier, under vendor there is a shot of 1. Currency and 2. List of accepted currencies.

They're the only 2 fields I can see there. Do they look OK?

PS Love your VM AusPost Shipping plugin

After I did the update to 3.4 the problems started without any changes.

I just saved the admin now but problem exists.

The update did include the AIO.

Perhaps my update wasn't complete as no one else seems to be complaining (although I do offer multi-currencies and am multi-lingual which may open me up to probs others aren't experiencing). I must say that the A with a ^ over top at PayPal is puzzling.

My issue could be caused by an issue emanating from a third party plugin or somethings not working right with these 3.4 enhancements:

Tweaks to currency handling
- New option shared to currency admin views. (Program logic is maybe not complete).
Javascript updates
PayPal updated xml field to vmfile to vmfiles.
PayPal hosted, fixed currency | PayPal hosted payment iframe little catch for EMAILLINK – handles no PayPal response. I'm not using hosted so pretty unlikely!

So where would a guru like you start if you were facing my situation

Shot in the dark:
Have You checked that the files You updated are saved as UTF-8 ? Using another character set could give the results you are seeing.

does the currency etc display correctly on your site?
is it only Paypal that has this problem?

live url?

Many thanks Jörgen & GJC Web Design,

OK, I downloaded com_virtuemart.3.4.0.9935 and the AIO and manually installed them both... Problem solved.

My first update to VM 3.4 was about 3 days ago, so I'm not sure if this is a newer updated version or not.

The only other thing I can think is when I used the maintenance update, that download/install got corrupted somewhere somehow which would be rare.

Perhaps will never know but very happy that all is functioning as expected now.

Thanks again!

Your error was very odd as in extensive testing of all the pre release VM3.4's no one found this - so maybe something went wrong with the initial upgrade.
But I see u discovered the tiny dirty secret..   
Releases can be slightly tweaked as a quick fix for some problem found very quickly after release - now with the nice newish version numbering system you can keep on top of this.

I see there is a   http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1136/com_virtuemart.3.4.0.9939.zip on the http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files which should fix issues with the loader that some were having.
