Hi there,

Firstly, thank you for an excellent product. On first impressions it looks fantastic and I'm still exploring all it has to offer.

I was wondering how to go about changing the currency_sign that is displayed?
I thought it would be in the items.php here:
Code:
$where['currency_sign']= $this->params->get( 'currency_sign', '€' );

but when I changed &euro to &pound it had no effect. Also, I noticed on site I don't see the same wording as indicated here
Code:
$where['read_more']= $this->params->get( 'read_more', 'Read More...');

as the words "Read More..." actually say "Read on..." on site

I'm likely looking in the wrong place, I'd be very grateful if you could let me know what to change and where :)

Thank you

In the menu configuration should be a tab 'strings', allowing to customize several strings for the component ( menu item ) and the module.

However I tend to simply hardcode the strings in the used layout.


like when using the 'full' layout found in

components/com_datafeeds/views/items/tmpl/default_full.php and then line 18

joomla has a build in mechanism to customize views using a template override more on affiliatefeeds.nl/custom-layouts.html

Thanks Bram for the swift reply.

I'll hardcode too;

I've gone to components/com_datafeeds/views/items/tmpl/default_full.php and then line 18 and can see it says $currency=$this->where
what exactly do I need to change so that the euro is replaced by a pound sign? (As you'll gather I'm far from an expert on such things!)

I've also noticed that when a URL for a product is created that there is a character limit of 50. Can this limit be removed? (note: I have the filter/callback as generic_cb)

Thanks

$currency='£';

or

$currency='£';

not sure hat you mean with the character limit, the url ( the affiliate link) should go into the 'product link' field which has a much higher limit

Perfect, currency has been changed. Thank you.

Sorry that I came across unclear; I was referring to the content which is populated in <span class="datafeeds_bread"> via the criteria set in feed to database mapping, Select 1, Select 2 e.t.c.
The URL for the product appears to be created based on this, but with a character limit.

The anchor text is based on the 'Select' fields and those are limited by the database field length.

Having long select fields is usually not very usefull.
