PCHR-3546: Make All Currencies Available

[backstageel]

Overview

Made all currencies available for new installations

Before

Only few currencies was available on new installations

After

All Currencies are available on new CiviHR installations by default

Technical Details

Couldn't find any CiviCRM API to retrieve currencies, so made direct query.

[tunbola]

Took a quick look in my local db, seems the enabled currencies have the same value for both name and label.
e.g EUR (€).

[tunbola]

I don't think we need to set is_active, is_reserved, is_optgroup and is_default, The values set for them are the same they have as the default database values.

[tunbola]

You need to add the option_group_id to the parameter to fetch the option value. In Civi it is possible for an option value with same names to exist and they will belong to different option groups. So for example we can have GBP belonging as an option value to another option group.

[tunbola]

Also since the currency records might be up to 200(on my local installation), wondering if we could optimize this by using a single API call to get all enable currencies names.

$result = civicrm_api3('OptionValue', 'get', array(
  'sequential' => 1,
  'return' => array("name"),
  'option_group_id' => "currencies_enabled",
));

Then in this loop, we can check if

if(!in_array($dao->name, $enabledCurrency){
// create the currency
}

[tunbola]

Please use short array syntax and single quote for strings.

[tunbola]

I think enabledCurrencies might be a better name since there will most likely be more than one.

[tunbola]

Please move this line to just before the while loop.
You can also add a space before that so the code is not cluttered together
