The currency symbol is forced in the subtotal and amount due lines. We cannot turn it off. It looks clunky. Either it should show on ALL monetary figures, or is should show on NONE (because the headings or label text has the CCY symbol included). At the moment, we have an inconsistent solution that looks clumsy.  Could you please add an option for including or not including the ccy symbol, and IF INCLUDED, it should be on all monetary figures, not just the subtotal and amount due lines. Thanks!

Yes, you are right about this!

A possible (not very flexible) workaround would be to include the symbol in the fields by using CSS.

For example, to include the symbol in the "Price" and the "Linetotal" column you can add the following CSS selector in the template.css file:

.ibcl_item_price:before, 
.ibcl_item_line_total:before {
    content: '$';
}

This will display the symbol on the left. To display it on the right, instead of "before" you can use the "after" pseudo-element.

Unfortunately, there's no workaround for removing the symbol because it is printed along with the number (it is not wrapped in a separate element which can be selected and removed with CSS).

Best,
Stefan

Hi David,

The feature you requested is done, the currency symbol is shown on all monetary fields. Also, it can be turned OFF or ON globally, so currency will be shown/hidden on all monetary fields. Note that the currency position (left or right) will also be preserved through all monetary fields.

All the best,
Dimitar
