New version got new features:
– Google currency conversion mechanism was added in addition to existing in e-Commerce core.
– Advanced settings page added for switching between different conversion mechanisms.
You can take it from here of in your WordPress plugin manager.
Hi, I’ve just installed version 0.6 and when i change from base currency i get the following errors:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/s1u150/public_html/wp-content/plugins/e-commerce-multi-currency-support/wpsc-currency-changer.php on line 97
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q=1GBP=?EUR) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/s1u150/public_html/wp-content/plugins/e-commerce-multi-currency-support/wpsc-currency-changer.php on line 97
So, you see the solution should be easy – just enable URL file-access on your server.
In php.ini, set the following fields to ‘On’:
allow_url_fopen = On;
allow_url_include = On;
Here is more about it http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php#ini.allow-url-fopen
Thanks for your quick reply! 🙂 That worked perfectly!
I have one more question for you..maybe this one not so easy! 😉 I am setting up a site with a large product database, I have imported all my products, but the issue I have is that the prices are in British Pounds but my target market is euro.
I am hoping it is possible to set the currency converter to convert and display euro automatically when it loads. Do you think this would be possible?
Maybe by keeping my base currency set to the UK, but having the plugin call up its initial location from the base location?
Or maybe by editing currency option to ireland (euro)
Do you think either would be possible and if so what would you recommend.
Thanks again for your help and advise.
It is not possible at this moment to convert currency on start. But I could add such feature on demand.
I could add an option, which will detect user location and according to it change to proper currency.
Or another possibility – Administrator will set default currency, which will switch on site load.
If you are interested, I could add this for some pay. In exchange, I would specify your site as a sponsor of the feature.
Dear Moishe,
I’m installing currency convert in my site but I’d like it to show the visitor’s local currency from the start, I’m willing to sponsor the feature; please let me know how can we proceed.
Thank you.
Hi,
yeah I could make this work. Could you send me more detailed e-mail on this? beshkin [at] gmail.com
Hi Beshkin,
Does the plugin now support the visitors local currency from the start?
Many thanks
Gary
