Warning: The primary exchange rate server (CURRENCY_SERVER_PRIMARY) failed for US

[RixStix]

Just poking around to see what's up, I made a slight change to /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/localization.php's doCurlCurrencyRequest function, adding the line highlighted below and ... I've got currency updates!

Please note that I'm not sure if this is the "correct" solution, but it's one that got the desired results.

  function doCurlCurrencyRequest($method, $url, $vars = '') {
    //echo '-----------------<br />';
    //echo 'URL: ' . $url . ' VARS: ' . $vars . '<br />';
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

TNX Cindy,
That took care of the issue in zc 1.5.4

Just tried Lat9's fix and it worked as well. Great work and big thank you.

FYI: lat9's fix is now built-in to v1.5.6

There are several suggested workarounds:
a) lat9's suggestion above to specify a referrer.
b) change your primary currency server to the built-in alternate of BOC (may wanna update to the latest /admin/includes/functions/localization.php from v1.5.6)
c) add a different currency exchange source using one of the available plugins (I recommend OpenExchangeRates, but you need to sign up for free api access as explained in the plugin.)

I used solution a) and it work very good for me, But when i change my default currency to some thing else than USD it set the default currency to 1 and miss all other currency.
Then i try solution C) and it work very good with all.

Worked for me! Thanks so much
