[CONTRIB] Display Currency Flag Images instead of Drop Down Box

[Guest]

Support thread for "Display Currency Flag Images instead of Drop Down Box" Contribution

 

This contribution replaces the standard currency drop down menu infobox with clickable currency flag images instead, very similar to the languages infobox. The selected currency flag will display as bright (highlighted) and the other flags will appear deselected in a opaque manner. Flags are fully customisable and can be edited via your store's administration panel.

I'd like to thank you for your contribution. I tried it, looks wonderful! (I changed the flags and resized it).

 

I'd like to take this contribution for a further step, and I'm looking for your advice:

 

Is there any way to take the content of the currency box (just the flags) out of the currency box and put it on the top of my website? I'm using STS moudle. don't know if there is a way doing that. I saw that some found a way to put the search field out of the box, but I haven't found how to do it so far. I guess once there will be a soultion for this, it will be helpful to solve everything (I promise to post, if i'll find it by then)

 

 

Thanks for the help

 

 

BTW I'm new with php and oscommerce, so I don't have a lot to share, I hope that i'll be useful more in the future. meanwhile, you guys are wonderful with sharing your information and I'd like to thank you very much!. :blush:

JUst add this code where you want it displayed:

 

<?php

reset($currencies->currencies);
$currencies_array = array();
while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies)) {
	$currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']);
}

$hidden_get_variables = '';
reset($currencies->currencies);

while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies) ) {
if( $currency == $key )
	$hidden_get_variables .= ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('language', 'currency')) . 'currency=' . $key, $request_type) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_ICONS . $value['image1'], $value['title'], '', '', 'align=absmiddle') . '</a> ';
else
	$hidden_get_variables .= ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('language', 'currency')) . 'currency=' . $key, $request_type) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_ICONS . $value['image2'], $value['title'], '', '', 'align=absmiddle') . '</a> ';
}

$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
									'text' => 'Currency: ' . $hidden_get_variables);

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

 

If the table or box is not required, you could rename the infoBox($info_box_contents) call and create a new infobox structure in includes/classes/boxes.php

hey stu,

 

We have had our OScommerce customized, so when i try and add this hack it totally messes up the pricing, we get 0 for everything! i took a look and apparently it deletes all the currency database in mysql. Then i edit each currency one by one in the admin panel, worked fine for 10 mins, 10 mins later all of sudden all prices are back to 0!

 

Also the flags dont display on our site! our site is http://www.thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk , any ideas how i can get these flag boxes to appear, i tried this hack on a brand new installation of oscommerce without a custom skin it worked completely fine, but on the custom skin it constantly gives me problems!

hey Stu, i did the above, wondering if you can assist - i want to actually remove the box itself, when i view the source it places the currency flags etc within a table. I suspect it's the tableBox($info_box_contents); piece of code in the boxes.php. I just want to display the contents, no table formatting - any idea what i can remove from the below to make this happen?

 

 

function CurrenciesBoxContents($contents) {

 

 

$info_box_contents = array();

 

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($contents); $i<$n; $i++) {

$info_box_contents[] = array(array('align' => $contents[$i]['align'],

'form' => $contents[$i]['form'],

'params' => '',

'text' => $contents[$i]['text']));

}

 

return $this->tableBox($info_box_contents);

}

}

Hi Stu

 

Justs installed your contrib, thanks it's very good but i'm having trouble positioning it in my website. It's stuck at the bottom and i can't move it anywhere and when i try moving it using infobox positions it messes all the other boxes out of place.

Is the code above a solution for this? If so where do i paste it?

 

Sorry but i've just started and i don't know much about any of this, in fact this is my first website and first contrib installation! :'(

 

Thanks

function calculate_price() is missing from file catalog/admin/includes/classes/currencies.php included in the archive.

 

if you have done the manual installation then you are fine however if you copied the included files in the archive over your files then you will have a problem.

Not having the above function doesn't prevent the add-on from installing however as soon as you add aproduct to your cart things will get messy.

here's how to fix this issue:

 

open catalog/includes/classes/currencies.php

 

FIND:

 

function is_set($code) {
  if (isset($this->currencies[$code]) && tep_not_null($this->currencies[$code])) {
	return true;
  } else {
	return false;
  }
}

 

ADD BEFORE:

 

function calculate_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
  global $currency;

  return tep_round(tep_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax), $this->currencies[$currency]['decimal_places']) * $quantity;
}

Hi

 

I think it was this contrib that i installed and it might have made my account.php page not work when you are logged in.

 

I get this error.

 

1054 - Unknown column 's.public_flag' in 'where clause'

 

select count(*) as total from orders o, orders_status s where o.customers_id = '119' and o.orders_status = s.orders_status_id and s.language_id = '1' and s.public_flag = '1'

hello

 

I installed this contribution but unfortunately it doesn't appear. i still have the drop down box listing them. Was there an extra step or 2 to do other than change all the currience.php's? do i have to add code where its suppost to be or something.

 

Thanks

We already have auto-update-currencies contribution installed. Will this still work if we install Display Currency Flag Images instead of Drop Down Box?
