Hey there,
I am using the currency selector module in my joomla 2.5 website that comes with Virtuemart.
I am wondering if the currency exchange rates are updated by Virtuemart? If so, in what time frame? I assume they would be updated every day to assume the fluctuation of exchange rates, correct?
If they are not updated periodically/at all by Virtuemart, does that mean I would have to update them myself?
Thank you,
Exchange rate is automatically updated by connection to the European Central Bank when needed
Is this for all of the different currencies?
Those listed here: http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index.en.html
I do not see the Euro there.
Does that mean it is not automatically updated?
WTF. The Euro is the base price. Clearly stated on the site is the heading: Euro foreign exchange reference rates.
Hi, how often do you exchange rates?
it is automatic today ? thanks
in code
$cache->setLifeTime(360); // check 4 time per day
Hi, thanks and where i find it ? which file ?
administrator\components\com_virtuemart\plugins\currency_converter\convertECB.php
thanks, i find it.
But when i change currency and i recalculate it , exchange rate are not actual.
Example: http://prntscr.com/l5vyyg item 99€
after change to Czech koruna CZ : http://prntscr.com/l5vzuq item 2558,95 Kč
but in here https://sdw.ecb.europa.eu/curConverter.do?sourceAmount=99.0&sourceCurrency=EUR&targetCurrency=CZK&inputDate=14-10-2018&submitConvert.x=71&submitConvert.y=4
is difficulty . why ?
thanks
you need to do a bit of digging to find out why .. is the cached rates updating when u change currency ?
Isn't only if the cached rate is more than 6 hours old?
when is the cached rate saved?
Thnaks GJC Web Design for your answer but i dont know how and where i to explore what is wrong
Can you help me with this problem ?
thanks
any idea ? thanks
It appears you have a succession of problems with your install - if u haven't got the skills to debug and fix you need to employ someone who has.
No one can know what is wrong in these obscure cases without intervention in your site ... and that is way beyond free advice on a help forum - these problems do not exist on a clean fresh standard install with a stand template
That should be your starting point
