Hi,

I'm using Membership Suite version 6.x-6.1. My currency is Pounds Sterling (i.e. GBP). The pound symbol is displayed incorrectly on webpages and in e-mail messages.

I noticed ms_core/ms_core.module line 2031:

case 'GBP': return $pos_sign .'£'. $f_amount;

Perhaps this ought to use the ISO-8859-1 symbol?

case 'GBP': return $pos_sign .'£'. $f_amount;

This seemed to do the trick for me but please advise if there is a more appropriate way to deal with this, pending a fix rolled into the release. Possibly other currencies exhibit this behaviour too?

Simon

PS. I noticed the sign-up e-mail has the subscription value as £0.00 - I'm assuming this is an artifact of using the PayPal sandbox - has this been your experience?

Sakadava,
Thanks for letting me know about this, I will be rolling out a fix in Membership Suite 6.2. The way I did it was adding the htmlentities() encoding to the symbols, which fixed it for me.

Sincerely,

In my opinion, there should also be a setting, where to print the currency sign... ie. before or after the monetary value. As far as I've seen, currency sign is at the moment hard coded before the value (which is wrong at least here in Europe)

You're right, I'll add that to the settings in MS Core.

I've added a new setting in

I've added a new setting in MS Core Settings that will let you define a template to use when formatting money. You can use the [sign], [number] and [decimal] tokens to format your money strings. See screenshot for example. This way, you can specify whether to use a . or a , for the separator, and you can put the sign before or after the number. You can even hard-code in the correct sign if it isn't working.
