hi, thank you for this link. i was trying to do it before
there is no lines in directory.xml file (in jm_epido) like:

<catalog_category_layered>
<reference name="left">
<block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
</reference>
</catalog_category_layered>

and

<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="left">
<block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
</reference>
</catalog_category_default>

just only

<catalog_category_layered>
<reference name="left">
</reference>
</catalog_category_layered>

and

<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="left">
</reference>
</catalog_category_default>

i was found these lines in default directory but i doesn’t work if i will change one of them or both files. any idea, why?

by the way, did you receive my pm with details to remove second block from left column?

take care! thanks for carrying out this case.

hello duchh,

i’m sorry but there is no line related to currency in header.phtml in epido template (nor in default catalogue too). removing directory.xml file doesn’t change anything as well. of course, i cleared cache… any other idea?

thanks in advance

Dear ikultura,

When you want to show currency in JM Template, please go to back end -> Configuration -> Allowed currencies -> you have to choose at least 2 currencies. After that, go to System -> Manage Currency Rates and add value into text box.

hello, i know about it. there are 5 of them checked, that’s why i’m looking to show currency box on website
but, i understand that it is better to say obvious things, so there are 5 allowed currencies, concepts taken from your previous post dont work (as i wrote there is no lines related to currency in header.phtml file epido template), so… any ideas? thanks!

Dear ikultura,

Currency block is not show on Jm Epido header, so that there is no lines related to currency in header.phtml file epido template. Currency block is show on left column.

Hi ikultura
I tried to do following this thread http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showt…142#post181142 and website was showing Currency Selector (pls see attach file)

Blow is content of layout/directory.xml

Code:

<layout version="0.1.0">
<!--
Display Currency Selector in Hompage's Footer
-->
    <default>
        <reference name="footer">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </default>
	
<!--
Display Currency Selector in Category page's Left
-->

    <catalog_category_default>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </catalog_category_default>


<!--
Category layered navigation layout
-->

    <catalog_category_layered>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </catalog_category_layered>


<!--
Catalog Search layout
-->

    <catalogsearch_advanced_index>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="right_currency" before="-" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </catalogsearch_advanced_index>

    <catalogsearch_result_index>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="-" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </catalogsearch_result_index>

    <catalogsearch_advanced_result>
        <reference name="right">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="right_currency" before="-" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </catalogsearch_advanced_result>

</layout>

Look at the words in bold, it set for display location.

So by following thread http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showt…142#post181142, you can setting for display Currency Selector

so, now i’m confused. if there is no line in header, so does it mean that i don’t need to remove anything from code, right? i saw these bolded lines, but what next? there are some of them referred to left (i think), but nothing appears. can you please look at http://www.artliberation.org and tell me how to do it, step by step? i was trying to upload files added on other thread, but they dont work, if there is nothing to change in the code (with line with currency), so what should i do?

Dear ikultura.

After uploading two files:
-- directory.xml to \app\design\frontend\default\jm_epidio\layout\
-- currency.phtml to \app\design\frontend\default\jm_epidiotemplate\di rectory\

you need to setting for Currency because of in order to display Currency selector, website must have more than one currency.
1. Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Currency Setup, choose at least two currency (see currency_setup.jpg)
2. Go to Admin -> Manage Currency Rates, set value for each currency (see currency_rates.jpg)

When above steps finished, you will see like selector.jpg ( you will need change some css for good looking)

If you do the above steps correctly, it will surely succeed.

Good luck

hello ilkeryalcin,
i have asked congtq (see above) to set it up for me, because i couldn’t do it by myself. i sent him personal message with login details to my administrator page and to login on my ftp account and he made everything up. so, i think it is the best way to ask him to do it again. unfortunately, i don’t know what files’ code has been changed, so it is hard to help you in this case. ask congtq he is able to do it. good luck!
