My currency is £65.00K

[svaish]

Hi guys I am running Sugar 4.5.0f (build 1202). Since my upgrade from 4.5.0e all the monetory values have £ against them. I dont know what it is. If it is a bug please let me know so I can open a bug report and submit it to the Sugar team.

Cheers

Bug 9421 refers, though apparently is not yet being actioned.

The workaround is to enter "&" "#" "8356" (without quotes or spaces) into the currency field in the locale settings.

Hi Smay

thanks for the update. I enetered &#8356 in the currency symbol field in locale settings and it changed the symbol to a pound symbol, but when you check the format, it does not work and instead appears as what you have asked my to type in before the numbers. E.G. &#835665,000. Am i doing something wrong?

This fix worked well for me until I tried to reproduce your problem. I now have exactly the same as you and cannot correct it - I share your frustration!

The best I have been able to achieve is by editing the "default_currency_symbol" in config_override.php to '£'. Now the charts work well, but the sign in the amount field in opportunities is hosed (presumably becuase it is expecting a unicode value)

The work around did not work for me...

I did fix it by doing the following (version 4.5.1)

In include/charts/charts.php

I changed Line 161 From:

$charset = $sugar_config['default_charset'];

To:

$charset = $sugar_config['UTF-8'];

I haven't bother to check the code further to find out why UTF-8 isnt my default, or if this causes any additional problems anywhere else...but I no longer get those annoying "Â" characters. If anyone can work out a better solution please tell me...
