This patch adds a some new form fields to the Country format settings page. Here, admins can set different currency formats for each of the countries they have enabled. These settings are stored in a new table, "uc_multiprice_currencies", and they are applied with a price handler alterer. So, customers from UK can see a price in pounds, while US customers will see dollars.

The API for price handlers should be changing very soon, so I'll update this patch when that happens (or supply a new one if this is committed first).

K patch looks good. One question though. Why only the sell price and not the list and cost price aswell?

Actually, I think it may be worth taking out the check for the node in the $context['subject']. The way the patch is now, the checkout page will still show up in dollars. On the site I'm using this, I've taken out both of the if() statements in the price handler alterer.

The only reservation I have about putting that into the module itself is that the prices don't really match up on the order pages. Some orders are in one currency, and some are in another, and there's no information yet that distinguishes them. I suppose uc_multiprice could add the user's country_id or currency code to the $order->data, and then use that in the price alterer when it is available.

Here's a re-rolled version that allows a different currency to be displayed in the cart and during checkout, depending on the country selected. I've also added a country selection pane to the cart.

Cheers,
Stella

Hi,

I see the patch is already included in the latest dev version, but somehow I'm missing something :)

The change region block changes the amount due say for instance USD122.00 and you change the country for Britain (price is GPB100.00), you see $122.00 and not the GBP in front.

In other words the currency label does not change, but the amount is correct.

Look forward to any reply, and thank you for this module!
Lilian

Try changing the "Currency Sign:" from say "$" to "USD$"
(or is there a better way to display the three character ISO 4217 currency code, by simply displaying the currency code automatically that is recognized and stored by the system anyway?)

Note: doing so will cause problem with Paypal gateway which I am waiting for a solution. See issue: http://drupal.org/node/621424

I have this problem actually:

Currency is changing ok on the content area (after I edit and save the node)

But shopping cart BLOCK is showing the default currency only.

Try the latest dev and let me know if this problem still occurs. Also name the ubercart version you using

Continuing from #10

Right now, UC_Multiprice only allow one to change the "Currency Sign:".
Changing the currency sign is only useful for limited number of currencies, Dollars ($), Euro ( €), etc.
For other countries, e.g. New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong that also use the dollar sign, it is impossible to tell what the currency is.

Can you please add the option to also allow UC_Multiprice to also display the three character ISO 4217 currency code, as a prefix or suffix?
Somewhat similar to Format Currency module - http://drupal.org/project/format_currency
(I had tried installing the Format Currency module but it doesn't work as is to display the currency code in ubercart)

As I suggested before, I can add the three character ISO 4217 currency code in the "Currency Sign:" to differentiate the currency, but this will cause problem with Paypal gateway as the three character code is not recognized.

Hi hdmp4,

You could write your own price_handler functionality in a custom module to fix this I would think.
http://www.ubercart.org/docs/developer/11375/price_api

For now marking as won't fix as I think this is a rather specific request.

Cheers

It is very specific and you're quite correct (above) exactly what http://drupal.org/project/format_currency is for. Note that it *does* work, the Economist website use it to display currency information on their pay barrier page. It just requires knowledge of how to implement theme() function calls.

Thanks,

Pobster
