conversion rate and showing it on cart

[hozzt]

hi,

 

we are in turkey and we sell our products in US dollars. but our costumers want to see the exact turkish lira rate and they want to know how much turkish money they are going to pay.

 

we want to show both $ and TL and/or the conversion rate of the exact time.

 

is it possible?

 

 

thank you.

The following script gets the current USD and TRY conversion rate from the European Central Bank website.

{php}
$XMLContent = file("http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml");
$amount	 = 1.00;

foreach($XMLContent as $line)
{
if(ereg("currency='USD'", $line, $currencyCode)) ereg("rate='([[:graph:]]+)'", $line, $usd);
if(ereg("currency='TRY'", $line, $currencyCode)) ereg("rate='([[:graph:]]+)'", $line, $try);
}

echo $amount." USD = ".round($amount / $usd[1] * $try[1], 2)." TRY";
{/php}

The feed is updates once a day. Recommended is to cache the values so it doesn't load every time someone loads the cart.

 

Based on this you can try to modify it so it will convert the cart total.
