How do I change the currency symbol in Magento 1.5.1.0?

I'm trying to change the price format in Magento ver. 1.5.1.0 from €8.49 to EUR 8.49.

I have been looking through lots of posts and forums but it didn't work out.

I tried to follow the instructions but it didn't work out so far. Cache is deactivated.

/lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml
<currency type="EUR">
 <displayName>Euro</displayName>
 <displayName count="one">euro</displayName>
 <displayName count="other">euros</displayName>
 //added <symbol>EUR</symbol> here
</currency>

/lib/Zend/Locale/Data/root.xml
<currency type="EUR">
  <symbol>€</symbol> => changed to <symbol>EUR</symbol> didn't work
</currency>

And no, I don't want to change the core /Zend files or use str_replace().

Solution

  • Try to grep in your version root and you'll see that it is locale based so you just might need to change t in multiple files.

    grep 'type="EUR"' . -rsn

    don't forget to clear cache afterwards before observing the changes in front-end

    rm -rf var/cache/*
