[nithinalex]

I was checking Automatic Currency Updater version 4.0 extension ...and found that currency conversion feed from European Central Bank's website do not contain Middle East Asian countries like UAE, Saudi Riyal, Kuwait Dinar etc Exchange rates...... So what to do for getting Currency Exchange rates from such Gulf countries??? .......

Have you found somebody prepared to supply that data for free? If so, please advise and we can look at extending this mod to take their feed.

HI,

I am trying to use the mod but i am running in to problems getting it working.

for the physical path of my installation i have added this:

define('/home/username/public_html/',''); 

But i keep getting the following messages:

Warning: require_once(PATH_TO_STORE_ROOTincludes/configure.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pestcont/public_html/currency_update.php on line 23

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'PATH_TO_STORE_ROOTincludes/configure.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/pestcont/public_html/currency_update.php on line 23


my currency update file is just located in the main catalogue

Try

define('PATH_TO_STORE_ROOT','/home/pestcont/public_html/'); 

which should work, though this defeats the object of allowing you to place the file outside of the web root so that trolls won't be able to browse to and execute it.

Thank you

I think it's working now. It's something to do with my web hosting.

They corrected the problem.

I am receiving CRON emails which is empty in the text area so it should be working right?

I have the mod working but I realised that as the exchange rate comes from ECB site, it publishes the rate default to EURO so it meesed up my exchange rates. Please advice can I do? ECB has most but 1 of the currency that I listed.

I installed mod v2 and it works very well. However, I just read the thread and realised that it is not legal to use?

I am new to php and zencart so please advice how should I go about this?

Many thanks
