Currency Update (Automatic)

Where can I adjust the spread?

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

Thanks!

Admin > Configuration > My Store > Currency Conversion Ratio

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

www.magicmods.com/images/Cron.tiff

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
Iain

I think you need to put the full path, something like
/home/username/public_html/magicmods


for the cronjob, again, you might need the full path plus might also need to define php.
Something like:
php /home/username/public_html/magicmods/currency_update_curled.php

Try

DEFINE('PATH_TO_STORE_ROOT','magicmods/');

Just to double check... the ECB site that the live currency add-on uses... only updates once per day??

So is there a faster way to test if it's actually working besides waiting until tommorow?

did you read my previous posts on how I did it in my server control panel?
