show price in the backend when i have two or more currency

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want to use the currency rate to update the price of your products all at once.
I think you're going at it the wrong way.
Instead of using currency rates, I would recommend having only one currency and all the prices in that currency.
If you want to update all the prices of a category of products, you can do so with a mass action with a filter on the category, and an action "update the values" on the "price_value" column with the "operation" mode with the value: price.price_value*1.10
And you can replace 1.10 based on how you want to change the prices. With 1.10, that's an increase of 10%. With 0.9 that's a decrease of 10%.
We actually have a tutorial on this here:

Hi,

Well, there is no option to display the price in a different currency in the backend products listing for example. Adding would require custom coding. Custom coding is harder than configuring a few mass actions.
You could pre configure the price changing mass actions for him, and he would just have to change the multiplier value in the action of the mass action before running the mass action, without having to know how to configure mass actions himself. So, if you setup the mass actions for him, it will be as easy for him to update the prices than changing the rate of a currency.

Also, the day your client wants to support prices in several currencies, you're screwed with using the rates as a price changing system.
Also, when your client wants to use the Google Products plugin to generate a XML of his products data (which can be interesting for SEO), the XML will have the prices configured in the products in the backend while he will want the converted prices in the currency used on the frontend. So your solution won't work without adding some extra customization code to the plugin.
Same if your client wants to export a CSV of his products to migrate to another ecommerce solution.
Also, extensions developed by third party developers for HikaShop might not properly convert the currency of the prices. So it might require back and forth with them to add that support in their extension so that the correct prices can be taken into account, if possible at all.
But if you use mass actions instead, then these problems won't happen because the prices will be in the correct currency with the correct value directly in the database.

Hi,

1. Yes. The report system will be based on the prices in the database. Not the dynamically converted prices if you use currency rates.

2. If you use mass actions, that's not a problem. Instead of a "category column" filter, you can use the "product column" filter with the column "product_vendor_id" to target the products of a specific vendor.

3. In each mass action, you have the setting "actions as a button". If you activate that setting, then the products listing will have an extra button with the name of the mass action as the name of the button. You will have to select the products you want the actions to be processed on with the checkboxes of the listing and then you'll be able to click on that button. Note that it will only process the actions of the mass action (so no filtering will happen). However, that should not be a problem as you will be the one pre filtering the products on the listing with the default filters available so that you only target the products you want.
