The simplest question about currency

After upgrades and moving from test domains to new domains my amember admin now states all values in $ (dollars) when I want it to be in £ (GBP). I have the language setting as British English (x2). but still in "Browse Users" and "Dashboard" and other places in admin it shows US Dollars everywhere.

Surely there must be a setting to change this?!?!

You have to set the base currency before any invoices are added.

That doesnt help me. Surely there MUST be a way to change the currency PLEASE!!!!

I cannot believe that this is set in stone and connot be changed if an invoice is added!?

I'm also waiting for a fix for this. I have only ever had £ in my database but it got changed to dollars when I upgraded from V3 to V4. It's only cosmetic but I'm always worried it might get onto a customer's record and confuse them!

The team are aware of this so I'm hoping for a fix soon.

As a bodge I am forced to hard code a change to change the display of $ to £. It is still DISAPPOINTING that there isnt an offical fix for this.

So for the time being I have changed Currency.php (library/Am/) line 182 from

Code:

    protected $formats = array(   
    'USD' => '$%.2f',
        'GBP' => '£%.2f',
        'EUR' => '€%.2f',
        'JPY' => '¥%.2f',
    );

to

Code:

    protected $formats = array(     
     'USD' => '£%.2f',
        'GBP' => '£%.2f',
        'EUR' => '€%.2f',
        'JPY' => '¥%.2f',
    );

Please can support staff at least tell me if this is an accetpable bodge?
