How to: Show the right currency

Hi,

I'm trying to use the business edition auto currency update feature, but cannot get it working the way I have it in mind.

My base currency is Thai Baht. I have defined additional currencies to be Euro and US$. When I enter only Thai Baht prices in my products, on the product detail page it shows my product with the right price in either Euro or Dollars.

However when I show a page with all products in a product category, it shows all prices in Thai Baht, whateven the currency I selected in the currency selector. How can I show the prices there in Euro or Dollars too?

Secondly, is it possible to set the system to show Euro or Dollar prices automatically instead of the default currency? Ideally if a customer logs in the currency should change based on the zone the customer is in. But if I could force the system to start up in another currency that could work too.

Thanks.

Gert.

Hi Nicholas,

It took a while because we were out for Christmas.

Anyway, this is the page that is causing me problems: www.thaihandmadecraft.com/cms/index.php?...re&Itemid=22&lang=en .

Attached are the pictures of the page and the productdefinition for the first product.

Hope you can find out what is wrong.

For the second: Any idea when this will be available?

Thanks again,

Gert.

Here is the other image:

maybe a helpful comment,

the currency does not change for me when viewing the category either... it just stays in Baht.

Nicholas,

Uploaded your file. When I run the website and show a category I now get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method hikashop::addACLFilters() in /home/thaihand/public_html/cms/administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/currency.php on line 276

Please advise.

Gert.

Nicholas,

Yes that did it. Thanks very much and a happy new year!

Gert.

Hi Nicholas,

We're almost ready with our new site and we're about to go live next week. Just wanna thank you guys for this wonderful product and the excellent support. Before using Hikashop I tried to accomplish the same result with Redshop, but although it has much more features right now, Hikashop is way more friendly and easier to customize. It's also more stable!

Coming back on the currency subject we discussed last year, I noticed that in the latest version I installed, zones have a currency option. I was hoping that setting the currency for a country would automatically select that currency for any logged in user from that country. But it doesn't do that (yet?). You said before a feature like this would be available soon. I'm wondering now if you already implemented it, but it's not working on my site or you're still preparing it.

Anyway keep up the good work!

Gert.

Hi Nicholas,

IC. This is a nice feature for visitors that you don't know, but not very helpful for existing customers. If I have a customer from France, I always want to show him the prices in Euro's, even if he is on a business trip in Japan.

Not sure how others think about this though?

Gert.

Hi Nicholas,

Good to hear that. Maybe an even better option is to also have a preferred currency field in the profile of the customer. The moment he logs in the system changes his currency to his countries currency when no currency is filled in on the customer profile and to his profile currency when he has one. This might be handy if you live in Thailand like me, but still have a credit card in Euro's. Just a suggestion.

Gert.
