Hi there,

Is it possible to set the currency to something else other than the ones in the drop down box? I need to set it to South African rands.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, did you ever figure out where to add the R symbol for SA Rand currency?

Here is how to add a new currency type to the dropdown in the admin settings area:

Open the file:

/administrator/components/com_dtregister/admin.dtregister.php

Around line 5343 (based on version 2.3.7) you'll find a series of language options that you select in the backend. Add a new line:

$options[]=mosHTML::makeOption("XXX","Your Currency Name");

Replace XXX with your 3-letter currency symbol and then type in your currency name.

Save the changes and upload the modified file. Then go back into the settings page of DT Register and you should now have the new choice in the default currency selection. Select the new currency choice in the admin settings and save.
