Title: Replace currency code with symbol Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Replace currency code with symbol * Resolved [thiloroe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thiloroe/) * (@thiloroe) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/) * Hi Paul, * the %PRICE% tag returns “EUR” plus a number. Any idea as to how to either replace“ EUR” with € or not have EUR displayed at all? * Best, Thilo. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [thiloroe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thiloroe/) * (@thiloroe) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393603) * Sorry to bug you again, * I have this custom template which makes a buy-button. It works correctly, but the syntax seems overly complicated to me: * %LINK_OPEN%de#Bei Amazon %PRICE%DE#%LINK_CLOSE%%LINK_CLOSE% * Does this look right to you? * Best, Thilo. * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393606) * Hi, * Don’t think you need to nest the LINK_OPEN’s. This might work: * ``` %LINK_OPEN%de#
Bei Amazon %PRICE%DE#
%LINK_CLOSE% ``` * By the way – If you purely want German products/links across your site you can turn localisation off and set the default locale to Germany. Then you don’t need the %de# on all the template items. * Or turn off localisation and then in the shortcode add the argument default_cc =de or default_cc=uk if you want country specific shortcodes. * Just some ideas, * Paul * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393608) * Hi, * To address your first question, the EUR part of the price is returned by Amazon. * However in theory it would not be too difficult for me to knock up some code to replace EUR with € – character sets and encoded aside. * Paul * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393613) * If you add this to functions.php or the end of another plugin file: * ``` function alx_extras_euro ($price) { return str_replace ('EUR', '€', $price); } add_filter('amazon_link_template_process_list_price', 'alx_extras_euro',11,1); add_filter('amazon_link_template_process_offer_price', 'alx_extras_euro',11,1); add_filter('amazon_link_template_process_latest_price', 'alx_extras_euro',11,1); add_filter('amazon_link_template_process_price', 'alx_extras_euro',11,1); ``` * Cheers, * Paul * Thread Starter [thiloroe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thiloroe/) * (@thiloroe) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393615) * It would be great to be able to replace the currency code with a symbol (also $ etc), but not really high priority… * About the other question. If I remove the nesting, the button itself doesn’t work as a link anymore. So I guess I just leave it. * Good idea about the localisation.

Works like charme. Thank you! * What does Amazon return for US-Dollar and British Pound? USD for UD-dollar I assume and for pound? * Great support by the way! * Best, * Thilo. * Plugin Author [paulstuttard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulstuttard/) * (@paulstuttard) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393629) * Hi, * Amazon seem happy enough to return $ and £ for US and UK currencies, CDN$ for Canada, my browser does not support Japanese or Chinese character sets, so not sure if these are working! * Paul * Thread Starter [thiloroe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thiloroe/) * (@thiloroe) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/replace-currency-code-with-symbol/#post-4393631) * So this little fix of yours is a real service for my fellow Europeans! 😉 * Thanks again! * Thilo.
