Halloj.

Found that "http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml" are missing the value for isk. However, manual currency update from "xe" provide it.
-How should I change "Define currency file" to fetch from "xe" instead of "ecb"?
Or maby even better as an backup, same way manual curency update does?

Hi.

Since "ecb" doesent provide one of the currencies I'm interested in, (one of the worlds most instable that is) I assume it should'nt be to complicated to fetch currenciy from "oanda" and/or "xe" (or somewhere else) instead?

At least tell the update function NOT to set values to zero!

Could someone please be so kind and give a hint!?

Earlier versions of this mod used oanda and xe. However, they changed they terms of use to outlaw screen scrapping. So the mod was changed to the ECB feed to keep it legal.

Thanks for answering kuroi!

Yes I have read something about that legal pov. But the built in update (localization.php as I understand) uses oanda / xe, and seem to work just fine... What's the difference? I reckon admin tools has to be as legal as some add-on!?...
-Zen Cart v.1.3.8 btw.

Just havent got the knowledge to combine the two scripts, as it seem to be the most obvious solution?...

As I said, isk in particular should be updated often! Actually with that currency this is a do or don't question...

Also seem to be a glitch that the "old" currency doesen't sustain when not fed with new values!?...

The difference is that the admin script was written in 2006, before the terms of use were changed. Earlier versions of the mod were based on that code. Though of course, I couldn't possibly suggest that you try using them instead.

I'm afraid that I don't understand your last paragraph.

Ok. thank's. Sorry to be slow...

Still don't understand the legal thingy though... -No one could be blamed for using old verions, I get that. But I don't understand that including an old script to a new version makes it legal?...
But then again, I don't catch much of all them laws anyway...

Now I have this other problem:
I can't upgrade the addon because of superstition and a bad knee..
Could you please guide me how to fix the convertion ratio issue?

Also tried to explain with rough English:
If the supplier -feeder- of currencies give no value for a certain currency, (today this is the case with ECB and ISK found here) then the currency should stay with the latest updated value, instead of update to a value of zero! Otherwhise all products are marked zero-price for that currency!

Thank's a lot!
