Putting currency dropdown in the header

I am looking to find an easy solution or put the currency dropdown code in the header but what I am doing is not work, I am a bit new with PHP.

This is the code I would like to rip out and put in my header

\includes\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl_currencies.php

<?php
    $content = "";
    $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';
    $content .= zen_draw_form('currencies_form', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get');
    $content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], 'onchange="this.form.submit();"') . $hidden_get_variables . zen_hide_session_id();
    $content .= '</form>';
    $content .= '</div>';
?> 
 

Or (I dont know how I would use it but..)

\includes\modules\sideboxes\currencies.php

 
<?php

// test if box should display
  $show_currencies= false;
  // don't display on checkout page:
  if (substr($current_page, 0, 8) != 'checkout') {
    $show_currencies= true;
  }
  if ($show_currencies == true) {
    if (isset($currencies) && is_object($currencies)) {
      reset($currencies->currencies);
      $currencies_array = array();
      while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies)) {
        $currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']);
      }
      $hidden_get_variables = '';
      reset($_GET);
      while (list($key, $value) = each($_GET)) {
        if ( ($key != 'currency') && ($key != zen_session_name()) && ($key != 'x') && ($key != 'y') ) {
          $hidden_get_variables .= zen_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);
        }
      }
      require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_currencies.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_currencies.php');
      $title =  '<label>' . BOX_HEADING_CURRENCIES . '</label>';
      $title_link = false;
      require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
    }
  }
?>
 
 

I took the top code and made a few things to insert into the header but I dont know what I am doing
e.g.

<?php
<div>
 zen_draw_form('currencies_form', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get') zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], 'onchange="this.form.submit();"') $hidden_get_variables zen_hide_session_id() </form> </div>;
?>

There is this mod, which, unmodified, gives you text buttons for each active currency. I just discovered it and I'm trying to figure out how to move them around and replace the text with images.

Thanks!

Use below given code in your header file.

<!-- Currencies -->

<?=zen_draw_form('currencies', zen_href_link(basename(ereg_replace('.php','', $PHP_SELF)), '', $request_type, false), 'get')?>

<?

    if (isset($currencies) && is_object($currencies)) {

      reset($currencies->currencies);
      $currencies_array = array();
      while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies)) {
        $currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']);
      }

      $hidden_get_variables = '';
      reset($_GET);
      while (list($key, $value) = each($_GET)) {
        if ( ($key != 'currency') && ($key != zen_session_name()) && ($key != 'x') && ($key != 'y') ) {
          $hidden_get_variables .= zen_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);
        }
      }
    }

?>

        <?=zen_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $_SESSION['currency'], 'class="header1_sel" onchange="this.form.submit();"') . $hidden_get_variables . zen_hide_session_id()?>
</form>
<!-- End Currencies -->

Hi,

Can anyone say how to put one particular default currency in drop down in header irrespective of what default currency is in admin.

How about the language code please. Thanks

It was sometime ago, but if I remember correctly the code was in the module http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=107
and also someone has provided code above.
This code is very old and I have not used it in the new zencart versions.

The link I provided above is very old.
I would try one of the newer ones

• http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1530
• http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=992
• http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=857

Found by doing a search for 'currency' in the 'free add-on's'
