Insert rupee symbol instead of Rs in magento

Hello Everyone,

                 Today I’m going to tell you how to change Currency symbol in magento.In simple words, This tutorial will tell to change the currency symbol of rupee (from Rs to an rupee image). By default, the currency symbol for rupee is Rs.

                 For this, you need to edit app\design\frontend\base\default\template\catalog\product\new.phtml
 if you want to change rupee symbol in new arrival page
Go to line no 38
 wherever you see the following code

<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true, '-new'); ?>


replace it by 


<?php
$string = $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true, '-new');
$string = str_replace("Rs", "<img src='http://www.myiris.com/insurance/images/rupee_icon.gif'>", $string);
echo $string; 
?>


You can also refer to the video showing how it actually works

Alternate Solution:


We have previously posted the solution for INR symbol. But that was playing with code, finally we were able to solve that problem in easy way. Here it goes:

Step 1: Goto: lib/Zend/Locale/Data/root.xml

  Make changes in root.xml

  find <currency type=”INR”> replace next line with this <symbol>Rs. </symbol>

Step 2: Goto: http://cdn.webrupee.com/js  

save the page as rupee.js and save it inside /js folder of the root.

Step 3: Goto: \app\design\frontend\default\your-theme\layout edit page.xml

After this <block type=”page/html_head” name=”head” as=”head”>

add <action method=”addJs”><script>rupee.js</script></action>

Step 4 : Clear cache by deleting all the files and folder inside /var/cache folder. Clear cache from back-end as well.

All done, u have just replaced Rs. with INR new symbol, which was designed by an IIT Graduate.

Magento Installation problems

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m going to tell you how to tackle different problems faced by the developer during the installation of magento.Magento Installation process is different for localhost & for online web hosting.In this article we are going to tackle basic problems as follows:

1. Internal server error  - 500 
2. Some extensions are missing like mcrypt,curl,PDO_MySQL.
3. No input file specified (mostly projects hosted on GoDaddy domain) 

Problem No 1 : Internal server error  - 500
Solution : This problem generally occurs when we don't have correct permission on files during installation Magento Expects that Each and Every folder and File  with permissions 755. So to avoid this problem you need to change permission of Magento Folder and index.php to 755. Sometimes it is also required to change the permission of .htaccess to 755.

Problem No 3 : No input file specified (mostly projects hosted on GoDaddy domain)
Solution : A common error which usually comes up if you’re hosted by GoDaddy, is the no input file specified error.
If you do not have Magento setup in the root of your server, make sure to add the following to your .htaccess file.

RewriteBase /yourbasepath/

Once that is verified, there are a couple things you can do to fix this, but we’ll start with the one that usually works.
In your web root directory, there should be a file called php.ini. Rename this to php5.ini.
If there is no php5.ini file. Create the file and upload it to your root directory.
If that doesn’t work, add the following to the end of your newly renamed php5.ini file:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

And if you’re still getting the error, add the following to the top of your .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews

The first one usually does the trick. If you don’t see this file in there, then create a blank php5.ini file add add the line listed on the second suggestion.
If all of the above has not worked, KEEP your changes, wait exactly 24 hours. Go back to youraddress.tld/downloader and try again. You may just be cached and for some reason it takes a bit longer then I was used to. Keep your chin up!
If nothing above worked, call GoDaddy up and have them either rename this for you, or make sure you’re on PHP 5.

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m going to tell you how to change 'Regular Price' and 'Special Price' text in magento. Though there are many ways to do it, But i'l tell you one simple method as it worked for me.I wanted to change 'Regular Price' with 'Actual Price' and 'Special Price' with 'Our Price'.

First you need to navigate to the file mage_catalog.csv by following path:

app/locale/en_US/Mage_catalog.csv

Now just check for translations 'Regular Price' and just

Replace

"Regular Price:","Regular price:"

With

"Regular Price:","Actual Price:"

Replace

"Special Price:","Special Price:"

with

"Special Price:","Our Price:"

Well now the most important step.
- Clear the Cache.
- Go to System –> Cache Management
- Refreh Cache.
- If you have not enabled the Cache OR if it didn’t work even after refreshing the cache, then
- delete the cache folder present inside var (var/cache)

It’s similar for other locale settings. I have locale setting as English, so I will be editing en.xml file.

- Open lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml

- Find the following :-

<currency type="USD">

    <displayName>US Dollar</displayName>

    <displayName count="one">US dollar</displayName>

    <displayName count="other">US dollars</displayName>

    <symbol>$</symbol>

</currency>

- Change

<symbol>$</symbol>

-to

<symbol>Rs</symbol>

But wait, you are still not done. The most important thing is still left. - Clear the Cache. - Go to System –> Cache Management - Refreh Cache. - If you have not enabled the Cache OR if it didn’t work even after refreshing the cache, then - delete the cache folder present inside var (var/cache)

You can also refer to the video showing how it actually works



But sometimes you want to insert an image instead of text
for e.g. if you want insert rupee symbol  instead of "Rs" follow this tutorial.
