A little presentation problem

Hello,
as you may know, I’m working on a french translation of S2member (well slowly as you can guess). Another french Smember user just asked me if I could do something about the default présentation of the Paypal buttons creation page. As you can see here http://tof.canardpc.com/view/20e2beb5-b1b0-4196-a803-36e3ba34a1ba.jpg the currency shown in hard is $ (“yes, I want to charge $ …”). The user can change the currency with dropdown menu but it’s a little perturbing. I can translate this in € but you may be french and need to make a button in dollars :-) Maybe the sentences with $ should be changed…
Another question: how to show EUR by default in the dropdown menu (if possible) ?
For the moment, I plan to translate the $ symbol by “in currency you choose”.

Hi Jean-Michel,

Unfortunately the s2Member back-end pages (i.e., the administration pages, including the button generators) are not yet translation-compatible. If you want to change that text, you’ll need to modify the core s2Member files; those changes will be overwritten with upgrades to s2Member.

We’re working to improve translation support for the back-end administrative pages in the next major release of s2Member.

OK. I suggest to change the two dollars symbol in this option page to something else so the user understand he does not have to create a button with a dollars payment.

Thank you for the suggestion, Jean-Michel. That’s a great idea!

Jean-Michel, you’ll need to create a hack for this.

Make a copy of the file [hilite mono]/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/menu-pages/paypal-buttons.inc.php[/hilite] and put it in your [hilite mono]/wp-content/mu-plugins/[/hilite] directory. This is to prevent that future updates of the plugin remove your edit. You’ll have to check manually if new updates are supposed to do something to this file, so you have your version up-to-date with the new fixes as well.

Now, in line 75 you’d edit the $ symbol:

[hilite pre_code]
... I want to charge: $ ...
[/hilite]

If your client will be changing the currency, it may be best to just remove the currency symbol or he’ll get confused, cause the symbol won’t be updated in the button generator when the currency is.

In line 76, find the part that says:

[hilite pre_code]
' . trim (c_ws_plugin__s2member_utilities::evl (file_get_contents (dirname (dirname (__FILE__)) . "/templates/options/paypal-currencies.php"))) . '
[/hilite]

and replace it with everything starting from line 6 in the file [hilite mono]wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/templates/options/paypal-currencies.php[/hilite].

There remove the [hilite mono]selected="selected"[/hilite] part from the USD option and put it in the EUR one.

I haven’t tested this, but I think it’ll work. I hope it helps. :)

Thank you Christian. I have no problem with it (and no client) but it’s good to have some information on this for non USD users.

Cool. :)
