Re: multiple price fields

[Kim Armann <kim@nichols.de>]

Hi, Dimitry,

I made it that way :
catalog.cfg :
Locale de_DM PriceField preisdm
Locale de_DM mon_decimal_point , mon_thousands_sep .
Locale de_DM currency_symbol  DM
Locale de_DM price_picture "##.###,## DM"

Locale de_EUR PriceField preiseuro
Locale de_EUR mon_decimal_point , mon_thousands_sep .
Locale de_EUR currency_symbol  EUR
Locale de_EUR price_picture "##.###,## EUR"

Locale de_OES PriceField preisoes
Locale de_OES mon_decimal_point , mon_thousands_sep .
Locale de_OES currency_symbol  ÖS
Locale de_OES price_picture "##.###,## ÖS"

now you can change your currencies or price-fields using
        [setlocale XXX]
e.g. if you have an input- or select-field, where you choose your price
you can act like that :
[if value waehrung eq "DM"]
        [setlocale de_DM] 
[/if]
[if value waehrung eq "euro"]
        [setlocale de_EUR]
[/if]

.... I hope it helps you ... kim armann
