"No shop currency defined" error

[dmb]

I've upgraded to VM 3.4.2 in advance of upgrading from J3.8.11 and in testing everything look OK so far, though on successful checkout I see an error

"No Shop Currency defined! Go to https://site_url/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop

The site currency is defined, as "Currency: British pound" and "List of accepted currencies: British pound"

I've found quite a few ancient posts with this error, but the recommended fix is to ensure that a currency is set, and I've done this without effect.

A bit of digging shows that the error is generated in line 291 of administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/vendor.php in the function getVendorCurrency ($_vendorId), and that the vendorId parameter is set to 52. This seems wrong: 52 is the value of the GBP currency, and the vendor for the site has ID=1.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

David

Is the currency in the Payment Method also set to British Pound?

[dmb]

Yes, I checked all payment methods, all show British pound.

Cheers,

Hi there,

unfortunately i have to report the same Error. You can see it at:
https://teichpiraten.de/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=vmplg&task=pluginresponsereceived&on=J2Y3022&pm=5&Itemid=113

I searched the whole day to fix this but no chance. Everything seems to be configured correct. It only appears if users pay via papal and are redirected to the shop.

I also activated the "automatic redirect" from paypal and linked it to a thank you page that a created. But even this redirect to the thank you (https://teichpiraten.de/kaufbestaetigung)page does not work. It still ends up here https://teichpiraten.de/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=vmplg&task=pluginresponsereceived&on=J2Y3022&pm=5&Itemid=113 with the currency warning at the top.

BTW: Also this is (even without the warning) a no really professioinal design of a thank you page - in my opinion. So i tried to find the template to modify this. I found /components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/oder_done.php but this seems not to be the page where the redirect ends? Where can i modify this page?

I really hope we find a solution soon.

@ElTrull - is this VM 3.4.2 ??  versions matter

is com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/oderdone.php ... no underscore ... order_done is there for back compat

[ElTrull]

Hi,

the VM version is 3.4.2, Joomla 3.9.1.

I hope this helps.

Just to note that I agree that it seems linked to Paypal payments.

I've commented out line 291 of administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/vendor.php for the moment so that the message is not displayed, as I can't actually find any problematic effect - all the data looks OK on the database, and the payments are going through OK. I suspect that some record, somewhere has a blank currency value but it doesn't seem to matter.

What about vendor settings?
If u have multi vendor or perhaps a misconfig ( 2 users marked as vendors  .- u should see a warning about this to fix) then the vendor comes into play with the payment methods

[ElTrull]

Hi there,

i dont have Multivendor. There is 1 Joomla User (Super User), 1 VM Customer (marked as vendor) 

If you want to take a look i can send you the access.

have you run the VM table updater?
Tried setting the currency manually in the DB as a test?

[Gopherit]

I have the same problem

Updating VM tables did not help

I don't know how to set currency in the DB - can anyone help me with this - did it help?

[GJC Web Design]

currency is set per vendor so check #__virtuemart_vendors  -> your vendor  -- assume u only have 1?
vendor_currency & vendor_accepted_currencies

I had the same problem until I turned off unused countries for transportation methods in the list of countries in the settings
