Here’s the £/$ issue in more detail (in fact I’ll list separately too):
At the bottom of the page are examples of before and after code changes:
In wp_admin.php
$currencies = array(
1 => array(‘code’ => ‘GBP’, ‘symbol’ => ‘£’),
Made 2x changes ‘GBP’ was ‘GPB’ and ‘£’ was ‘£’ which did not work on UK machines
Also in wp_auctions.php this code to create link to Paypal does not work
case “paypal”:
$payment = “\n\nYou can pay for the auction by clicking on the link below:”;
$payment .= “\n\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=”.urlencode($paypal).”&item_name=”.urlencode($rows->name).”&amount=”.urlencode($rows->winning_price).”&shipping=”.urlencode($rows->shipping_price).”&no_shipping=0&no_note=1¤cy_code=”.$currencycode.”&lc=GB&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF&charset=UTF%2d8″;
break;
solution has been to include concatenation step – highlighted in red below. NOTE requires <space> + “.”
case “paypal”:
$payment = “\n\nYou can pay for the auction by clicking on the link below:”;
$payment .= “\n\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=”.urlencode($paypal).”&item_name=”.urlencode($rows->name).”&amount=”.urlencode($rows->winning_price).”&shipping=”.urlencode($rows->shipping_price).”&no_shipping=0&no_note=1& “.”currency_code=”.$currencycode.”&lc=GB&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF&charset=UTF%2d8″;
