Chasing the $$$

Post by ronnie »

Hi there,

I have this online auction script that I installed and need to edit the currency symbol throughout from $ to £ but I have no idea where to make the change. I suspect it might be in the database somewhere but as yet I havent been able to locate it. Can anyone please help?

Website/ script: http://www.maggiesauction.co.uk

I say that it may be located in the database but it may just be in a file somewhere with the bid value dynamically updated somehow? Excuse me, I am very new to all of this.

When I 'view source' on the webpage the $ value is located within taglines like these - <dd>$0.00</dd>

and its these I need to have displaying with a pound sign instead like <dd>£0.00</dd>

As you're using "WebAuction 0.3" I suggest you contact the person who wrote it for support. It's very likely that you'll need to change more than just the symbol displayed on the page. For a start, the law regarding auctions in the USA is different to the UK. As it's a charity website I would recommend getting it right first time...
