Country flags instead of drop-down currency selector

I have been searching the forums for a long time but haven't been able to find the solution (or a good/easy one anyway), so I would love some help!

I would like the user to be able to select a currency based on their country flag icon (similar to language selection) rather than the default drop-down currency text selector.

Any help is very much appreciated!

(By the way, I use version 1.3.5)

You can refer to the code of Language Sidebox and the Currencies Sidebox, and adapt it for your use. The display of flags, signs and names both share similar concept.

And there is a mod which modfied the above sideboxes and display Currencies Signs and Language Flags in the header.
Language/Currency Links in Header.
And a related topic.
Lang selector

And also there are topics and some questions I had answered which related to the above subjects and you can search for it for more reference.

and the topic for Language/Currency Links in Header is

aspudden, thanks for posting the link. I have tried the mod but it doesn't work with version 1.3.5, and I don't know what to alter to make it work either.

I'm also looking for a solution to this. I'd like to change from drop-down menu to country flags. Please help!

Has anyone implemented a solution to displaying country flags in stead of a dropdown for the currency selector?

Hello fergusmacdonald,

Check my website in my signature. Is that something you are looking for?

Hi Royal,

Yes indeed! Did you do that yourself, or have you downloaded an add-on from somewhere?

Hello fergusmacdonald,

Yes! I did it myself.

I add these codes below.

Go to: includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

I make sure that the codes are in between the <ul> and </ul>. And after checkout.

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
<li><a href="index.php?currency=CAD&main_page=index"><img src="images/YOUR_IMAGE.gif" alt="Canada Currency"/> CAD</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?currency=USD&main_page=index"><img src="images/YOUR_IMAGE.gif" alt="United States Currency"/> USD</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?currency=AUD&main_page=index"><img src="images/YOUR_IMAGE.gif" alt="Australian Currency"/> AUD</a></li>
</ul>

Note: If you add too much currency. You will run out of room in your header.

Great, thanks for that. Will get my developer to look into this as will probably introduce it in a sidebar rather than the header.

Can you tell my why it has to be after the checkout line of code?

The way my site is modified, I have to put this code in tpl_main_page, since it's above the 'header.' Will this cause problems?

Hello khopek,

You can have it anywhere you like.

For example check here.

It would not cause a problem. Customer would have to be at the main page to see it.
