Display Total Sales with $ (dollar sign) in Dashboard

While setting up and testing my first OpenCart, I was very confused after creating my first test order that the Dashboard showed I had 55 Total Sales, when I only had 1. After pecking around I realized that my test order total was $54.85. So I realized that the Total Sales on the Dashboard is rounded up sales dollars. However, without displaying as currency, it is very confusing and misleading.

To display correctly as currency, make the following edit:

/ocart2/admin/view/template/dashboard/sale.tpl

Change line 10 from:
<h2 class="pull-right"><?php echo $total; ?></h2>

To:
<h2 class="pull-right"><?php echo '$' .$total; ?></h2>

If not using USD, change the '$' to your currency symbol.

I could not resist, to try, to make it automatically displaying the active Currency,
and, to my surprise, it even worked on spot! But one could try, to define/declare the Symbol Variable,
instead of the Short Currency word, about the same way, I assume.
Just keeping the 'H2' in line, was not possible, so, I changed to font-size 38px., to match
visually, more or less... (for OC v.2.2 - v.1.5.6.x uses it by default!)
Just to mention it!

Here is simple VqMod!

currency_to_admin_dashboard.xml

For Version 2.3.0.2 this tpl file:
admin/view/template/extension/dashboard/sale_info.tpl

TL simgesi eklemek için bu eklentiyi kullanabilirsiniz: (Use this vqmod for Add TL symbol. Turkish Lira. You can change easily for $.)

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering if there was an update to this vqmod? I'm looking to utilise this on my OpenCart website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Jonathan

Hi,

Thanks for providing the addon - I've added this to my OpenCart website and nothing seems to happen.

Are there any instructions I could follow?

No - which version are you using and how did you install?

Maybe resolved, just another approach - both should work.
