Change default currency that comes with language

[Pablo M Mino, geändert vor 13 Jahren.]

Hi,

I know how to change the language, but how can I change the currency? I talk spanish but we don't use €, we use USD

Noone has ever had the need of this? I'm sure I'm wrong because I don't think currency is set with locale, but I can't find a propety called currency or something like it in portal.properties

i know this is old, but i actually need this now...

i have liferay 6.2 configured in spanish, so it takes spain... spain uses euros, but in america we use $ for spanish... the same format as US dollars...

so how can i achieve this? i tried the fmt:formatNumber tag, but it gives me euros even with the <fmt:setLocale value="en_US"/>

thanks!

Never tried this before... but what happens if you set the locale to es-US?

i tried setting the locale of the fmt tag with this:

<fmt:setlocale value="en_US" />

i also tried setting the format and currency symbol of the fmt:number tag... it works only for the symbol... but it gives me ##.###.###,## (europe style)... and i need ##,###,###.## (american style)

that doesnt work... is that what you are asking?

thanks for your answer

Ack! Sorry -- forgot to follow up on this. No, I meant -- what happens if you use --

<fmt:setLocale value="es_US"/>

... I'm not sure that it's actually a supported locale to be honest. Last resort, you might be left making your own taglib?

[juan meza, geändert vor 9 Jahren.]

yeah, i tried that, but doesnt work.. liferay langauge overrides it

ill try the custom taglib and see what happens

thank you!
