Guest Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi Experts, I am still using version 3.0.8 on one of my shops, and accept 3 currencies. The default currency is sterling but I also accept US dollars and the euro. Can someone please advise me how to keep the exchange rates up to date? Thanks, Tom.

vokf Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 You can simply update once a month (or if there is any significant change) and adjust the exchange rates from online information (www.xe.com ?). There is also an excellent currency update mod on www.cubecartforums.org The commercial one can be set to auto-update, the free one requires you to click a button to update. I hope this helps, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Anyone know the website where I can get the right currency rate #? XE and Yahoo! don't have the exact same rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Also which rates I should update? 1 U.S. $ = 1USD, =0.6739 EUR, =0.4851 GBP,... OR 1 U.S. $ = 1 1 Euro = 1.4839 1 U.K. £ = 2.0613 I'm looking at Yahoo! - http://finance.yahoo.com/currency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich_505 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 1 U.S. $ = 1 1 Euro = 1.4839 1 U.K. £ = 2.0613 would be the one to use :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps, Jason Hi Jason, I have installed the currency mod you mentioned from www.cubecartforums.org. When I click on the Update Xchange rates button I get an HTTP 404 page not found error and in my address bar is the following url: http://www.mysite.com/cart/admin/settings/...DateXchange.php, however if I remove /admin/settings from the link then it appears to work. Have you any idea what I have done wrong? Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you drop (from ZIP file) the folder *UpDateXchange* in admin folder? http://www.domain.com/STORE/admin/UpDateXchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also added the extra code to admin/includes/navigation.inc.php, and the result is as I described in my last posting. Thanks Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
