How to access Currency variable in user cookie?

Hi,

I am trying to use Jumi to write some custom code and need to access the Currency ID on the customer's cookie.

Basically, I want to display a price list of a bunch of my products on one single page. Right now it is in USD, but I want to make it so that when the customer changes the currency to say EUR, all the prices on the price list change to EUR automatically.

I know how to write PHP code to access mysql data, but I don't know how to access the Currency ID number on the cookie.

Can someone please kindly let me know how I can access the cookie data? Assume that I am starting on a blank PHP script with nothing initialized (a blank Jumi page).


Thanks,

Robin

Hi,

The currency id is not stored in user cookies but in the user session.

If HikaShop is loaded, you can simply call the function hikashop_getCurrency() and that will give you back the current currency id.

Otherwise, you can use:
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$main_currency = 2;
$currency_id = (int)$app->getUserState( 'com_hikashop.currency_id', $main_currency );

Note that there is already a currency switcher module installed automatically along with HikaShop.

This worked! T H A N K Y O U !!!
