Currency Update (Automatic)

[naturesartandgifts]

Any chance someone will come up with an updated version using CURL to access European Central Bank? My server has allow_url_fopen disabled for security purposes. Thank you all.

Hello Kuroi,

Thats okay. Thanks for the correction by the way. I imagine its difficult to check so much code.

Where can I adjust the spread?

(The difference between the actual rate and the one that is posted on the website?)

Thanks!

Hi, just a quick question, it is better to use the curled version by Nogal (post #85) than the one in the download area, correct?

[kuroi]

I haven't looked at the curled version, but if it works for you, go with it. It's less likely to stop working in the future as a result of upgrades by your host.

Hi I have just uploaded currency_update_curled.php

I wrote on line 17 DEFINE('/public_html/magicmods','');

I created a a Cronjob

a Table shows

It doesn't seem to work, I've put my email in but I'm not getting any error logs sent to me.

Are my paths correct?

Thanks

i'm receveiving thw following errors in my email:

Your errors suggest that your web host is blocking the php file() function, which this mod uses to read in the currency data.

You would need to either get your web host to unblock that function, or try the curled version of thsi mod instead (see post #85 above).
