I installed Globalize today wo any problem…

config/environment.rb :  
…  
include Globalize  
Locale.set\_base\_language(‘fr-FR’)

date is correctly localized, static texte too.  
.  
my only problem is with current…

in my DB (test data) I have a price column (integer)  
the Model is :

class Product \< ActiveRecord::Base  
composed\_of :price, :class\_name =\> “Globalize::Currency”, :mapping  
=\> [%w(price cents)]

the list view display the price

  
\<%= product.date\_available.localize("%d %B %Y") %\>  
  
**$\<%= product.price %\>**  

but I get : (the dollar currency is still there !)  
26 Janvier 2005  
$30,00 â?¬

LAst question

is how I define the price entry in my view  
i suppose that what I wrote is now sufficient :

Prix  
\<%= text\_field 'product', 'price' %\>

thansk for yoru help to a newrubies…
