Thread: showing 2 currencies in XMLPackage

I'm trying to display both Canadian and US pricing according to my locale currency tables. The site's base currency is configured as CAD (which is default for the en-CA locale) and I'd also like display USD (defualt for the en-US locale).

I figured this could be done by the FormatCurrency function, passing in a locale. I've tried this, but the FormatCurrency always seems to use the site's global locale rather then what I'm passing in...



<xslaram name="USLocale">en-US</xslaram>
<xslaram name="CALocale">en-CA</xslaram>


<li class="ca_price">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatCurrency(Price, CALocale)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</li>

<li class="us_price">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatCurrency(Price, USLocale)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</li>



I've also tried the following with no success:

<li class="ca_price">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatCurrency(Price, en-CA)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</li>

<li class="us_price">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatCurrency(Price, en-US)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</li>



Thoughts?

Hi

I've not had a chance to test this but I suspect no locale info is being passed to the FormatCurrent function because...

In the first version, change CALocale and USLocale to $CALocale and $USLocale, like this:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatCurrency(Price, $CALocale)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

In the second version, put single quotes around the locale (otherwise ASPDNSF will think it's looking for an XML node), like this:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatCurrency(Price, 'en-CA')" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

Let me know if this works - if not, get back in touch and I'll try logging into one of our servers and making a similar change to see what happens - I'm just being lazy now!

Nice, that works, only it expects the currency name, not the locale.


Appreciate the help!
