Why can't I use:

{def $test='../share/locale/nor-NO.ini'}
Test: {$test}
{def $currency_name=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', $test)}
Currency: {$currency_name}

..when this works fine:

{def $currency_name=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', '../share/locale/nor-NO.ini')}
Currency: {$currency_name}

When the text produced is the same, why can't I use variables?

This usually happens when you use template compilation, because ezini gets compiled to just a static value. This is done to increase speed and should work this way.

You can probably get this work by disabling template compilation, but I suggest you to try this:

def $currency_name=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', 'nor-NO.ini', 'share/locale', true)}

This is a way of dynamic fetching of ini settings, it is still undocumented, but should work in ez publish 3.6 or higher.

And please reply, does it work for you or not ?

Thanks.

The line you wrote worked fine. I'm using v. 3.6.1.

But I still can't get any further with my problem.
I want to fetch the locale settings from RegionalSettings, and then fetch the currency from the specified locale. If someone uses greek as locale, the snippet should get the currency settings from the greek .ini file. What I'm trying to do is calculate a products price in Euro, using the eurofxref extension (which by the way is excellent).


{def $ini_file=ezini('RegionalSettings', 'Locale')|append('.ini')}
{def $currency_short_name=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', $ini_file)}

{let rates=fetch( 'eurofxref', 'fxref' )}
  Your currency in Euro: {rates.fx.$currency_short_name|110n( 'number' )}
{/let}

You can try to change your second line to this:

{def $currency_short_name=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', $ini_file, 'share/locale', true)}

Jupp, that did the trick!

Trying to make Kirill's string work on 3.10 without results. Any changes in how eZ displays site currency on later releases?

Here's the code I'm trying to get going:

{def $ini_file=ezini('RegionalSettings', 'Locale')|append('.ini')}
{def $sitecurrency=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', $ini_file, 'share/locale', true)}
            
{$sitecurrency}

A friend helped me out, here's the code that actually works - if it can be of any help to other stuck in the same challenge:

 {def $ini_file=ezini('RegionalSettings', 'Locale')|append('.ini')}
 {def $sitecurrency=ezini('Currency', 'ShortName', '../share/locale/'|append($ini_file), true(), true() )}
