Currencies

[crazylegsreilly]

Hi all,

In the advanced user guide, http://www.xe.net/ecc/shoppers/ is given as an example of a currency converter that can be used with Actinic (Page 49).

The instructions state that this should be added to Act_ShoppingCartXML.html.

This works perfectly when the customer goes through to the checkout page. However, I'd like my customers to be able to view the currency pop up window/embedded frame on any product page and would want the values to be hard coded, ie. so that the shopping cart value would already be in the convert value box.

I'm using version7.1

Does anyone know of a way I can do this by linking to the shopping cart value?

Also, can anyone from Actinic tell me whether or not multiple currencies might be supported in the future?

Thanks in advance for all your help,
Darren

Hi Darren

I have forwarded this query to the development team and will keep you posted.

Hi Darren

I am attaching a file with the modified code to include the calculator.
This code can be included in any required template, for e.g., Act_ProductBody.html.

However the code for Act_Primary.html as mentioned in the Advanced User's Guide can be retained as it is required.

This code will use the cart cookie total value as the actual value to be converted.

The request for supporting multiple currencies has already been added to the wish list for the development team to consider.

Cheers

Thanks very much for your help.

I'd suggest that this method is actually better than the NETQUOTEVAR method.

With the NETQUOTEVAR code, if the basket is empty, you get NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL written in the Convert value field, which looks untidy.

With the JScript method, you get a zero, which is much better.

Just a suggestion,

Thanks again,
Darren
