Customer Order History in Default Currency

[bigpedro]

If a customer places an order in a different currency then the correct amounts are shown on all of the screens up to payment no problem at all. However if the customer logs back in to view order history the orders are not shown in the currency in which they ordered but the default store currency.

Not ideal. Is confusing for our customers. Is this a bug or how it is supposed to be?

If there a way to Modify it?

In the file includescurrencyVars.inc.php, near the top, find:

$override = array(

	'viewOrder'		=> true,

	'viewOrders'	=> true,

	'giftCert'		=> true,

);

Try changing this to simply:

$override = array('giftCert' => true);

This solution is predicated on the assumption that the customer will switch the store to their currency in order to see the money amounts relative to their currency.

I cannot answer why viewOrders and viewOrder is set to show the default currency. I suspect it has to do with the fact that, should the exchange rate be updated between the time of purchase and also between viewings, these money amounts would probably change. So, maybe adding an explanatory note on this page would be a good idea.
