How to show $ sign before price instead of the letters AUD after price when setting default shop currency to AUD

We should just have to update the currency array with the proper values. See http://www.drupalcommerce.org/faq/currency-format for more info.

Out of curiosity, what do you do in multi-currency scenarios?

I'm going to go ahead and mark this fixed. Please re-open if you need more assistance.

Hi Josh,

I had the same issue so I just built a module that changes to the expected way of displaying. Entire module code is 1 function with 3 lines of code.
If you just create the following two fles and put in a folder called commerce_aud then enable your module you will be all good. Then when it gets fixed in the module later you can just disable and remove the module.
Cheers,
Sam

Filename: commerce_aud.module

<?php 
/**
 * Implements hook_commerce_currency_info_alter().
 *
 * Because the default display of AUD is awful
 */
function commerce_cellier_commerce_currency_info_alter(&$currencies, $langcode) {
  $currencies['AUD']['symbol'] = '$';
  $currencies['AUD']['symbol_placement'] = 'before';
  $currencies['AUD']['code_placement'] = '';
}

Filename: commerce_aud.info

name = "Commerce - AUD"
description = "Fix AUD display"
core=7.x
package = "Commerce"
files[] = commerce_aud.module

I'd definitely support a module that lets sites do custom currency formatting. I think there's an open issue for it... just a matter of getting tweaks like this one into a settings form somewhere. : D

Yeah, are you thinking something like a form with just "currency prefix" and "currency suffix" fields. That would be about the grand total of it wouldnt it?
I guess to take it further and make it multi-currency supportive you would have it read the active currencies and offer up prefix/suffix fields for each.

Thank for essbee.
I take 2 hours for it last day, and never resolved it. Because i think there is should be options settings can do that, actually i never found it. Thanks again.

Thank you essbee.
I create the folder called commerce_aud.
I create the two files called commerce_aud.module and commerce_aud.info.

I try to install this module, but is show to me error message.

To create the two files i use the N++.

Do you have tip?

(This is a pretty old issue, so it's best to leave it closed and either use essbee's contact form if it's enabled or seek help in the #drupal-commerce IRC channel.)

Just for anyone whose using the code in #6 I was getting errors because I hadnt noticed that the line:

function commerce_cellier_commerce_currency_info_alter(&$currencies, $langcode)
should read :
function commerce_aud_commerce_currency_info_alter(&$currencies, $langcode)

also changed the line:

$currencies['AUD']['code_placement'] = '';

to:

$currencies['AUD']['code_placement'] = 'hidden';

The code which work for me in a module named commerce_aud as per instructions in #6 is a follows:

function commerce_aud_commerce_currency_info_alter(&$currencies, $langcode) {
$currencies['AUD']['symbol'] = '$';
$currencies['AUD']['symbol_placement'] = 'before';
$currencies['AUD']['code_placement'] = 'hidden' ;
}

Everything now perfect. Thanks for a simple fix. Would be great if these settings could be incorporated into the commerce admin ui.

Wow..

I think that it would be great to have this as an option in Drupal Commerce to add the appropriate symbol? This is pretty standard regardless of adding the CAD/AUD/USD afterwards

Thoughts...

thanks essbee and heather51. this is what i do for my Indonesian Rp

function commerce_idr_commerce_currency_info_alter(&$currencies, $langcode) {
  $currencies['IDR']['symbol'] = 'Rp ';
  $currencies['IDR']['symbol_placement'] = 'before';
  $currencies['IDR']['code_placement'] = '';
}

Don't forget to clear the cache, everything work

For future referece, i was looking for a way to move the symbol. I found this module that does the trick:
