Just been adding one of my addons and have found that currencies.php is missing from classes.
Is this not needed/used any more - has it been replaced or is it alright to delete the call?

Admin side is using now the common store side classes in includes/system/versioned/

I'm a bit curious now - what does this file actually do and is it really needed now? Especially in admin on a non - EU webstore.

I can see it's a file from osCommerce back in 2007

Anyone like to shed any light on it?

Prior to autoloading, admin used a duplicate copy of the currencies.php file to show prices. Since autoloading, that isn't necessary unless admin needs a different behavior than catalog. In general, admin can use the catalog versions directly.

If you just delete the require line from the add-on, things will probably just work.

Thank for the explaination Matt - it does work after deleting the require line which was the reason for my curiousity

Would that also apply to front end files using it?

Sorry - I'm going single minded at this putting it in relationship just to my addon
I've just had a further look at this and YES currencies.php is required - at least the fist half of the file - it was the EU part that threw me though - now have a better understanding of it, the first part names the countries that have the € after the price and the else applies to those countries that have € before the price but only if the EUR is default currencies <my thoughts are censored here>

So with autoloading currencies.php is autoloaded throughout, both front and back end and is no longer needed in any othe file anymore and if used in an admin file will cause an error
