How to use the "Currency Exchange Rate"

I thought it should be automatic. However, I found the rate wasn't updated when I checked the currenies table today.

Re: How to use the "Currency Exchange Rate"

I found the manually updating on the backend. Could I set up a cron job to update automatically?

Yes, with v155 there's an /admin/currency_cron.php script that you could call from a cron job at whatever time interval you wish it to execute. Simply create a cron job and specify the path to that file on your server.
