Show Currencies with their symbol instead of currency switcher in header
Sometimes clients requirement are different and hence we would need to break our heads to fix their requirement ;) We all know that there's a default currency drop down selector (also called as Currency Switcher ) available in magento (displayed in the top right of our header). I would like to replace that with currency symbols like i.e, $ £ € So I change the code in your themes "directory/currency.phtml", Replace this code in place of dropdown code: <ul> <?php foreach ($this->getCurrencies() as $_code => $_name): ?> <li> <a onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getSwitchCurrencyUrl($_code) ?>')"><?php echo Mage::app()->getLocale()->currency($_code)->getSymbol()?> - <?php echo $_code ?></a> ...
