Which ez version do you use?
Which language do you use? Are you sure the one you are using when doing the checkout process have the correct shortNameCurrency?

There is some changes between 3.9.2 and 3.9.3 to manage the currency of an order.
It seems that from 3.9.3 the currency is not retrieved anymore from the locale file.

Ok, I just checked it: With 3.9.3, first you have to activate the currencies you want to use.
Go to the admin interface, WebShop settings and enable the currencies and also the preferred currency.
Tell us if this solves your problem with paypal.

<i>so what could i do with my project now, Christophe?</i>

Go to the admin interface, WebShop settings and enable the currencies and also the preferred currency.

<i>everything is done , it doesnt make sense if i start again everything.</i>

You don't have to start again, just configure the webshop.

<i>but the information you give me is real or not?</i>

Hey philumo, we only try to help you! We just checked a fresh 3.9.3 install and see these changes. You can directly check the php files in paypal extension and you will see the changes between 3.9.2 and 3.9.3.

Hi philumo,

You will have to wait a bit more before having your site working. I was setting a site like the one you described and it fails as you told.
Having a look into the mysql tables, the column for the currency code is empty in the database !!
Then, I looked for a bug at issues.ez.no, and there is one created the 17th of September exactly about your problem.

You should read and subscribe to the issue:

http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=11454&activeItem=1

And, probably you will have to wait the next maintenance release to have paypal work.

Best regards.

thanks you Christophe

i check my code and change something and right now, it can send the currency value to paypal center

this is my way:
3.9.3 current(it dont run):
$currency = urlencode( $collection->attribute( 'currency_code' ) );

3.9.3 changed(it run):
$currency = urlencode( $locale->currencyShortName() );

i change code to get currency from locale file , dont get from db anymore

thanks you so much Christophe

this is my yahoo nickname: philumo

i hope i can have change to talk with you by yahoo chat.

thanks you again

<i>thanks you Christophe</i>

You're welcome :-)

<i>I change code to get currency from locale file , dont get from db anymore</i>

Ok, you are doing it like it was before in the release 3.9.2
It's a quick and dirty hack, but it will work for you.
Now, take care of this change for your further upgrades, probably the problem will be solved by the next maintenance release.

Regards.
