Hello all,
I have developed changes for version 4, so that the alternate currency will display for which the customer is visiting from.
ie. Customer browsing my store from UK, then main currency will be Aussie Dollars (billing currency), and alternate currency will be (GBP)
If a customer is browsing from Australia, then no alternate currency is displayed, only AUD dollars...
Again, US customers would get AUD and billing, and USD for alternate.
This question is so simple that anybody can answer it. I deleted the code to display the GBP symbol, can somebody tell me what it was... also is there a code for the Euro...
If anybody is interested in this mod, then let me know... and I might make it available.
The way it works, is that it has a new IP table, with all IP ranges, and country codes for the IP ranges etc, the exchange rates and currency codes are maintained via admin, in the countries table. So you really need to update the exchange rates regular (I will do it once a week from a rate sheet, and should only take a minute or two).
I am not setting all currencies, if you are visiting fom a country that does not have a currency set, then it will use the default.
Also, this could be modified to stop traffic at your site, from countries that you do not want to deal with. (ie. You may only want to sell within the US) So all that other traffic is eating into your servers performance and bandwidth....
So, please let me know the GBP and EUR text codes ? Thanks.
