Hi,

I am both fairly new to DotNetNuke and also fairly new on here too.

I am struggling a little with a currency problem in DotNetNuke 5.1.1.

I use a third party Classified Ads module from DotNEtJedi, which displays the currency symbol inside it.

It displays something like "Asking ($) £460.00".

It appears to be picking up one part of this correctly from the Site Payment settings, ie it is showing the £ symbol, but it is showing the $ after the word "Asking".

I logged a support issue with them and they said to make sure that I was using the correct Language Pack to rectify this.

The only language pack I have is en-US, and I cannot find a en-GB language pack anywhere for DNN 5.1.1. The one that I did find was for DNN 4.9 and cost 99 USD.

Having looked through other topics on the internet some people seem to recommend changing the locale settings and some say to update the language pack.

I am really, really confused as to how to deal with this issue, and I also suspect my time formats etc will be wrong as well.

I work as a professional C# developer and work with Locales etc on a regular basis, and just cant beleive it is so difficult to change this sort of thing in DNN.

This whole locale/language pack thing seems to be so confusing or perhaps I am just being thick

Any help, guidance would be extremely appreciated as my new DNN site is due to go live in a few days and I am pulling my hair out.

Many thanks in advance.

Simon

Hello,

Welcome to the forum! - Yes looking at the language packs on DotNetNuke.com it is confusing. I have just tested them both for you in DNN5.1.1 to see if they are compatible and they are.

If you login and go to:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Developme...fault.aspx

This provides links to download UK language packs, but they are designed for earlier 4.x versions

I tested the free version (v4.8.4) from dnnenglish.com and it installs ok - What I do not like though is that they have changed a lot of elements to all capitals as an 'enhancement' - personally I think this looks awful.

So I then installed the other version available on dotnetnuke.com by Vincenc Masanas for v4.0.2, this also installed correctly and the capitalization is correct.

I would suggest you test that version, what you may find is that in DNN 5.1.1 that some of the localization parts have moved so some items may be missing, but hopefully the main elements that you actually need such as Date and Currency should work.

To install, go to Host menu / Extensions and then the Extensions Installation Wizard

Hope this helps,

Lee, Firstly, thanks for the welcome. Much appreciated, as is the extremely prompt response. Secondly, that worked an absolute treat - thankyou. Downloaded the language pack and it has resolved my problem straight away. Once I get some more time, I will get to know the ins and outs of DNN a lot more. You will definitely see much more of me on here though. Love the site, love the videos. Excellent place to be. Kind Regards Simon

Great, glad it worked, thanks,
