Ive used oscommerce for ages and have recently changed to zen
In oscommerce mydomain.com/catalog/index.php?currency=GBP
changes the shown language to GBP (great british pounds).
Similarly mydomain.com/catalog/index.php?currency=USD
changes to US Dollars.
This is great because for my ads aimed at the UK, the customers click the link to my cart and see prices in pounds.
Similarly ads aimed at the us lead people to my site in dollars.
How can i do this in Zen cart? It doesnt work!!!!
This is very useful for google base ads where for US ads the currency must be in USD and UK must be GBP
Thanks

Re: Change language by URL. - Incoming link will change the curency
That's a puzzling thing say. It works in exactly the same way in Zen Cart.
Here are some examples to demonstrate it
http://(sorry, site offline)/138/index.php?currency=GBP
http://(sorry, site offline)/138/index.php?currency=USD
http://(sorry, site offline)/138/index.php?currency=EUR
http://(sorry, site offline)/138/index.php?currency=CAD

Re: Change language by URL. - Incoming link will change the curency
That's because of a syntax error in the way you're building the URLs (which would apply to any system where parameters are passed as GET variables). The first parameter starts with a "?" but any others chained to it are preceded by "&" instead.
For example, this works:HTML Code:http://(sorry, site offline)/138/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_15&products_id=20¤cy=USD
