Enable users to use local currency to advertise

Currently, in WPAdverts it is only possible to have a single currency for a whole site, the currency you can define in wp-admin / Classifieds / Options / Core.

If the currency you would like to use is not on the list you can add it as explained here https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/add-currency/add-currency.php

Ok thanks

Hi Greg, thanks for that information, but i really want my target users to advertise in their own local currency.
Please can you help me with the code that will create currencies in dropdown menu on the add adverts page?

Thanks for your help.

I am afraid this is not really possible right now, The best you can do is disable WPAdverts code which is responsible for formatting the currency so users will be able to enter any text in the Price field.

I think is a nice idea temporarily.

Please can you show me how to disable it?

You can do that by adding the code below to your theme functions.php file

add_filter( "adverts_get_the_price", "disable_price_formatting", 10, 3);
add_filter( "adverts_form_load", "disable_price_validation" );

function disable_price_formatting( $formatted_price, $price, $post_id ) {
  return $price
}

function disable_price_validation( $form ) {
  if( $form['name'] != "advert" ) {
    return $form;
  }
  foreach( $form["field"] as $key => $field ) {
    if( $field["name"] == "adverts_price" ) {
        $form["field"][$key]["class"] = "";
        $form["field"][$key]["filter"] = array();
    }
  }
  return $form;
}

Hi Greg, the code is breaking the site, below is the error message.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data02/78/3730578/html/wp-content/themes/social-magazine/functions.php on line 194

Sorry, there is a typo in my code, this should work fine

add_filter( "adverts_get_the_price", "disable_price_formatting", 10, 3);
add_filter( "adverts_form_load", "disable_price_validation" );

function disable_price_formatting( $formatted_price, $price, $post_id ) {
  return $price;
}

function disable_price_validation( $form ) {
  if( $form['name'] != "advert" ) {
    return $form;
  }
  foreach( $form["field"] as $key => $field ) {
    if( $field["name"] == "adverts_price" ) {
        $form["field"][$key]["class"] = "";
        $form["field"][$key]["filter"] = array();
    }
  }
  return $form;
}

To have it working in wp-admin as well you will need additionally this line in disable_price_validation function

$form["field"][$key]["attr"] = array( "id" => "adverts_price_x");

Thanks a million Greg, it works fine, cheers

Hi Greg, There is still a an issues with the above code. When i changed the currency symbol and clicked publish, it came up with the below error message. Thanks

ning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be double, string given in /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data02/78/3730578/html/wp-content/plugins/wpadverts/includes/functions.php on line 289

Hi, right now the only way to fix that is to disable notices and warnings on site, you can do that by opening file wp-config.php and adding there following line

define("WP_DEBUG", false);

Hi Greg, that line of code exist there and is false.

Try opening file wpadverts/includes/functions.php and replacing line 289

$number = number_format( $price, $c['decimals'], $c['char_decimal'], $c['char_thousand']);

with

$number = number_format( (float)$price, $c['decimals'], $c['char_decimal'], $c['char_thousand']);

Hi Greg, it works, Thanks for your support.

I’m looking forward to the next update, I hope that most of these issues will be resold,

Great job, great support.
