Duplicate module?

hi longwave,
When I started this module development, I am not aware of the module that you have pointed out. But that being said, there are many differences between these two modules from the standpoint how these modules work. I am intending to write a complete doc on the difference but here is my quick summary.

* multiplecurrency module requires you to hack the ubercart module for its working, but uc_multiple_currency doesnt need any hacking

* multiplecurrency module requires you to choose a currency for each location. For eg., for India, I need to set a default currency. But uc_multiple_currency is aimed at auto detecting currency from the location.

I will report the other differences here or in a separate node when I get time.

Thanks for pointing me to the similar module.

I am a Ubercart user who needed multi-currency support and had a tough time using the original multi-currency module despite its excellent documentation. I broke my site several times by forgetting to change back the hacked values when upgrading.

Also, the 6 version of the original multi-currency module still appears to be a work in progress, despite some great inputs: http://drupal.org/node/449322

As such, a multi-currency module that doesn't require hacking of Ubercart core and is easy to configure is very welcome even if it may not have all the features of the original.

I just stumbled on your module after looking at /project/multicurrency and its great to see so many ideas to get this functionality into ubercart. I love giving the user the ability to change the currency on the fly like this. In fact it even works for users not logged in which is something that I believe multiplecurrency cant do. Having a block like this is fantastic as you can theme the currency block similar to how some large site do like in the shop at http://www.deviantart.com/print/993267/?itemids=102 for example underneath the price on the lower right hand side.

But uc_multiple_currency is aimed at auto detecting currency from the location.

This is a great goal however I think that it would be beneficial to the user to still have the currency block available.

For a total shopping experience, I do see a downfall for not having a 'currency block' available in the /cart and /checkout pages of ubercart.
Nice work anyway, so far I haven't got any errors from your dev version :)

Looking forward to see this progressing!

Currency block is cool, auto decection makes it even more userfriendly (in my current store customers sometimes fail to choose the right currency before they checkout...) and for a last backup: use the billing country at checkout as last instance to set the right currency automatically.

cheers

As am I looking forward yanku, please neokrish let us know if you need help in testing or more thoughts on ideas. :)
