Hi Dan,
It really seems there is no easy way in Angular to change default
currency parameters across the application as mentioned in Angular Wiki
(https://www.angularjswiki.com/angular/angular-currency-pipe-formatting-currency-in-angular/)
and further elaborated in a GitHub discussion
(https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/25461).
However, the Angular Wiki page cited above mentions a workaround (with a
code example):
"we can define our own custom Angular currency Pipe to do the same.
Create a new file called custom.currencypipe.ts file and add the below
code to it. You can change the paramters as per your requirements."
If implemented in Evergreen, maybe the currency parameters could be
changed in a single place?

Hello Eva,
The AngularJS interfaces are using the built-in currency filter, which
supplies a dollar sign by default. More here:
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/currency
It does appear that the filter can specify a different symbol; it is
fairly limited otherwise. The newer Angular looks to be more robust
in allowing locale-specific currency formatting options.
If you care mainly about the symbol, you should be able to change that
by modifying each place that filter is used, but that doesn't seem
very practical. If that doesn't seem viable for you, we probably need
to look at expanding how that filter is processed to allow for better
optional behavior. Tacking on a root variable similar to date
formatting doesn't seem too terrible.
Hopefully someone with more direct knowledge will chime in and let us
know there is already an easier way.
Sincerely,
Dan

Hi,
The Czech Evergreen community hopes that during the summer we will
be possible to move our libraries to the web client using
Evergreen version 3.3. Therefore, we are currently working on
testing and removing potential localization problems.
Currently, we are dealing with currency setting in the web staff
client patron billing interface.
There was no currency symbol used in the patron billing interface
in the XUL staff client. This has changed with the new web
client: There is the "$" symbol shown in the patron billing
interface for each payment amount. However, we use the Czech
currency, and the dollar symbol shown in the interface is quite
confusing and does not provide an easy survey of the money summary
to staff. Even greater complication is that the dollar symbol is
also used on patron payment receipts (see the attachments). We
need the currency symbol to be changed (or at least removed).
From the receipt template
(Open-ILS/src/templates/staff/share/print_templates/t_bills_current.tt2),
as well as from the billing interface, it is obvious, that a
specific currency (particularly USD) is automatically inserted
into the receipt or into the billing interface. E.g. "Total owed:
{{xact.summary.total_owed | currency}}" is interpreted as
something like "Total owed: $1.50". However, unfortunately It is
not clear to us, where the USD currency comes from.
We suppose there should be probably a similar setting for the
currency as it is for the date + time format (which is possible to
set in the Library settings editor and which occurs in the receipt
template as {{xact.xact_start | date:$root.egDateAndTimeFormat}} )???
Does anyone please have an idea how to set the currency value?
(The fact that we can't use our own currency is a real web staff
blocker for us )
Thanks for any hint
Eva
