Change currency per language?

[drizzt99]

What do I do with it?
This is where I put my code...

Ok,
I've made the following changes:
Template file -

Ok,
I did the change:

Code Select Expand

<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?>

<!-- Currency Selector Module -->
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("form#converter").submit();
    });

    </script>
<?php echo $text_before ?>
<form action="<?php echo JURI::getInstance()->toString(); ?>" method="post" id="converter">
<br />
<?php echo JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $currencies, 'virtuemart_currency_id', 'class="inputbox"', 'virtuemart_currency_id', 'currency_txt', $virtuemart_currency_id) ; ?>
    <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('MOD_VIRTUEMART_CURRENCIES_CHANGE_CURRENCIES') ?>" />
</form>

Inside the module main file I've added this:

Code Select Expand

$jlang =JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang = $jlang->getTag();
if ($lang == "he-il") {
$virtuemart_currency_id = 67;
}else{
$virtuemart_currency_id = 144;
}

It still doesn't work... any idea why?
Thanks

Hello,

Code (your_site\modules\mod_virtuemart_currencies\mod_virtuemart_currencies.php after line 37) Select Expand


$jlang =JFactory::getLanguage();
$lang = $jlang->getTag();
if ($lang == "he-IL")
    {$virtuemart_currency_id = 67;}
    else
    {$virtuemart_currency_id = 144;}
$mainframe->setUserState("virtuemart_currency_id", $virtuemart_currency_id);


works for me... does not require to submit the form.

That's the first thing I tried.
It doesn't work... for some reason, it works when I use the form, but doesn't work when I just switch language...
Can you send me a link of where it works for you?

Switch the language; English comes with $, French gives you old good French francs).

[drizzt99]

It's not working for you either.
I click on the French flag, and price remains in USD.
If I click a second time, it switches to Euros.
Then, when I click on the English flag, I get the site in Eng, but prices in Euros.
Click a second time on the Eng flag, and you get the prices in USD.
This is exactly what happens to me.  There's the "lag" in switching the currency.
Any way around this problem?

Cache...

When you switch the language, the currency selector switches too, right? So does the vm_currency_id. But the prices on the page (if any are shown) remain in previous currency until you refresh the page. You do it by clicking on the flag again, or F5...

Click on the flag once, then go to the category or product details page. Did it work?

So, the question is "how to clean cache on lang switch?".

P.S.: I think, it does work (in terms of your task). Set aside, if your browser is in certain language, you will get the page in certain currency at entry.

[drizzt99]

hmmm...
So if it is cache, is there a way to disable cache for prices only?

Would appreciate, if you find out the answer, then share it))

Ok,
I think it's done right now, but it's changing core files, which is bad for biz.
Add this code:

Code Select Expand

$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
   
        if ($lang->get('tag') == "he-IL" ) {
             $currencyId  = 67;
              }
           else {
             $currencyId  = 144;
            }

In 2 places in the file (/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/currencydisplay.php):
1) Right after

Code Select Expand

public function getCurrencyForDisplay( $currencyId=0 ){
2) Right after

Code Select Expand

self::$_instance = new CurrencyDisplay($vendorId);

Just don't forget to change he-IL to french and the 67 to the french number.

Worked for me...

Doesn't work
