Currency display

[smay]

Sugar default currency is set to British Pounts, symbol: £

In all of the charts (flash?), this is displayed as: £

How do I correct this so that the currency is displayed properly?

EDIT: submitted bug no 9421

What version of Sugar are you using? I have the same problem when I upgraded from 4.5.0e to 4.5.0f.

4.5.0f like you, although I've had the same problem through c,d & e. I raised a support case and the bug submission's been updated, but the status is still "new".

Boooooo. Not sure how to fix it. Will hav a word with a techie in my office about it.

Will let you know how to fix it if we know how to that is.

Hi,

There are similar problems trying to display the € sign. The problem can be fixed by changing the Currency symbol in Uncode format i.e. for € try "& # 8 3 6 4 ;" without the spaces), via Locale Settings in Admin or My Account.

Not sure what the Unicode no. is for the £ symbol, trying looking at http://www.unicode.org/

Hope this helps

Hi,

just Googled, try the following unicode value & # 1 6 3; without the blanks

Thanks, Malcolm, your euro post got me along the right lines. "& # 8 3 5 6 " works. We've recently had another post asking the same question and I've posted this there too.

I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Am I missing a step?

I've enteres "& # 1 6 3 ;" (without the spaces) in the Admin/Locale Setting/Currency Symbol field, but nothing has changed.

I believe we fixed this by modifying the chart generators to specify the character set in the produced XML files as UTF-8 (which it is). The Flash chart then behaves as expected.
