chicken or the egg problem - set up an asset

Hi,

It is because by default, the currency code is not editable, you can enable it by editing file:

/administrator/components/com_solidres/models/forms/currency.xml

Then remove the attribute readonly="true" for field currency_code.

Regards,

Thanks, but isn't that sort of a hack? I don't mind, but wouldn't most people do a blank install or is the recommended way to install demo data first?

Hi,

The readonly mode was added recently to prevent user from editing the currency code which could break some payment plugin like PayPal because they require currency code to be in ISO 4217.

However this change does not work well for user who want to set up from scratch, in this case you will need to make a small modification to allow editing currency code.

Installing sample data is still recommended because it will install about 180 currencies worldwide as a part of it.

Regards,

Good answer. Will do that!
