Virtuemart XE Currency Convert is a virtuemart currency hack that allow
you to convert between GBP, EUR and USD currencies by using the currency
exchange rates as provided by www.XE.com. Changing the following files
means that the whole shop will display prices in the selected currency.
Requires Joomla 1.0.15 and Virtuemart 1.0.15. We have modified the
original code to ensure that the exchange rate data can be read from the
new XE site.
This hack is not installable in the conventional Joomla sense. Using an
FTP tool, backup the existing files, rename them and replace them with
these new files:
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/class_xe_curr_conv.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/class_currency_display.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_product.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_checkout.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_order.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/account.order_details.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php
/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/templates/product_details/flypage.php
/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart_parser.php
/public_html/includes/joomla.php
The zip also contains:
mod_xe_currency.zip which has inside it:
/public_html/modules/mod_currency.php
/public_html/modules/mod_currency.xml
Extract the mod_xe_currency.zip file and use the standard Joomla module
installation process to create a module in a prominent position.
We have used this hack on http://www.goodwoodantiques.com and it enables
the client to take purchases from throughout US and the EU without
alienating UK purchasers.
