do a google search on joomla extensions currency converter

or look a http://www.xe.com/ and pull that into your site in the wrapper position

It is not joomla guys!

No sorry,
Magento has its own currency selector so the customer can shop in the store in their own currency.
Currently this drop down menu only shows in the category pages but i would like this box to be on the front page.
Hope this makes sense

(As noxxitbaby says it is not joomla, we are talking about the magento platform)

Magneto runs under Joomla doesn’t it? That is it integrates with the Joomla template Purity or am I having a senior moment

NO, sorry, Magento is a stand alone shopping system, has nothing to do with Joomla. Also the names Purity have nothing to do with each other, JA Purity is this one free JA Template that comes with Joomla, so somehow this name was adapted to this new Magento theme.

Again, to make it clear to anyone, MAGENTO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JOOMLA! There is a bridge out there, called JFusion, that connects the databases of both systems, but still in beta. Joomla and Magento have nothing to do with each other.

Both are PHP Softwares, but use different types of codes.

I think this was already mentioned numerous times here in the forums.

From my experience with VirtueMart and the developers, sometimes they bring out things that do not really make sense or they forget some useful or even needed features. They go by their own logic of what is good and useful for their shop system, like a global currency selector that is already shown on the frontpage is not so needed, maybe their logic or they forgot it. But it is useful for ————--> Select here, like with the language, what currency the shop shall display on all pages

Because of this I can only say, that the the logic behind this may be, the reason why it is not shown on the frontpage by default but in the categories or product pages, may be that there is nothing to show for this module on the frontpage (unless you have some products showcases with prices there and want those to change currencies too when you select those with such module on the frontpage). That when you do not have a list of prices below each other or a product and you can change the currency to see what the price is in other currencies, you need no module there. Yes, one can add one there, so that people who will want to see their currency on the following pages then when they go through the categories or the products and then when there, their currency already shows up.

This you should ask in the Magento Forums, here I guess you get more template help.

so sorry and all that I just read the thread as Purity,guess I’m dumb

For this case, with JM Purity, please open app\design\frontend\default\default\layout\directo ry.xml file, at about line 35, find following code:

Code:

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

and change to:

Code:

    <default>
        <reference name="right">
            <block type="directory/currency" name="currency" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </default>

I have moved this box to right column.

Please see my attachment file for demo.

Hope it helps.

No big idea about magento

for joomla based Currency Converters

umm … but this is the JA MAGENTO section.

What is searched is NOT a currency converter in the usual sense, but a currency display chooser/selector for the storefront. 2 totally different things. A currency converter lets you convert a specific amount of money you have in one currency to a chosen other currency, based on the interbank currency exchange rate when you want a tool like http://www.xe.com offers as an online version.

Now here, it is a currency display selector with that you can change the displayed currency in the Magento shop, that means, you have the ability to select in what currency the price for a product is displayed and this must not really be based on the interbank rate, as a lot of shops simply use more common sense currency rates and do not update their currency display every 5 minutes to the current interbank exchange rate but good when they can or bad when they can, however you see it, sometimes the interbank rate either brings the seller more profit or the buyer more savings, or the buyer more costs, the seller less profit. But same when using the common sense exchange rates.

Hope you understand.

thanks for the above instructions and i would like to add a Currency Converter in it.

Very interesting discussion..

Today I just start to find out for Joomla as I usually using others for my blogs.

I will plan to find out more for Joomla and next month will start using as my next project.

Thank you.
