I need to get currency symbol in visual force email template. I want it to be the currency the user is using. I check the docs here:

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_outputText.htm

But don't see anything that will give to me.

Any tips?

  • Do you need it as a field formula?

I'm infering from your question that User is the recipient type on your email template. So, how about something utilizing Custom Labels and the ability to access them dynamically, e.g.:

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Test" recipientType="User" relatedToType="Account">

<messaging:htmlEmailBody >

   <apex:variable var="isoCode" value="Currency{!recipient.CurrencyISOCode}"/>        
   <apex:variable var="currencySymbol" value="{!$Label[isoCode]}"/>

   Your balance is {!currencySymbol}200.00

</messaging:htmlEmailBody>

</messaging:emailTemplate>

Then you can create a Custom Label CurrencyUSD, CurrencyGBP etc. etc.

  • I don't know enough about it, so i've added it as a comment but I wondered if Translation Workbench might also provide some options too?

  • @Phil Hawton first line is <messaging:emailTemplate subject="Daily Digest" recipientType="User" relatedToType="My_Custom_Object__c"> so yes. Howevere your idea gives me: Error: Invalid field CurrencyISOCode for SObject User

For the visualforce page i would take this one:

<apex:image value="{!CASE(YourObject.CurrencyIsoCode,'EUR','/img/euro.gif',
                                                     'GBP','/img/gbpfund.gif',
                                                           '/img/default.gif')}"/>

Like Mohith say's, here is an example with static resource :)

<apex:image value="{!CASE(YourObject.CurrencyIsoCode,'EUR',URLFOR($Resource.MyRes,'img/eur.gif'),
                                                     'GBP',URLFOR($Resource.MyRes,'img/gbpfund.gif'),
                                                           URLFOR($Resource.MyRes,'img/default.gif'))}"/>

And for the Image field this:

IMAGE(CASE({!YourObject.CurrencyIsoCode}, 'EUR', '/img/euro.gif', 
                                          'GBP', '/img/gbpfund.gif',
                                                 '/img/default.gif'), 'image_label')
