Hi all, I am fairly new to Opencart so be gentle.

all up and running and so far fairly happy with it. Love the layout having come from Zencart.

Anyway, i am on Version 3.0.2.0 and have installed the Update patch for update currency Cleared the cache, Refreshed the modifications, and refreshed the currencies. I currently only have two currencies, GBP and USD with GBP as default - they are set as per the ISO standards. GBP is set as 1.000000 and i have tried setting an initial figure for USD, Setting it to 0 etc but it will not update.

Any thoughts or help gratefully received.

Many thanks

What is your default currency?
Don't set it to 0 because that obviously wouldn't be accepted, try 2.

Hello,
I am having the same issue. Have set my default currency COP to 1.00000, that works. Deleting and creating other currencies, setting any value, and then trying to update does not work, the values for those currencies remain the same. I am working on a local OC installation, how can I check if the server is being able to fetch the currency values from the internet?
What is this currency update patch you are talking about?
Any other help I can get?
thanks,

Newbie

Hi, I didn't see the reply to this but it still does not update.

other currency is US$
settings:
Currency Title: US Dollar
Code: USD
Symbol Left: $
Symbol right: blank (as in no entry)
Decimal Places: 2
Value: 1.25000000
Status: Enabled

Hope that helps.

Symbol Left: $
You put this: "Symbol Left: $"
Why not try: "Symbol Left: $ "

If that doesn't work, try: "Symbol Left: $ "

Hi,

I tried both options, with a space and nbsp; behind the $ symbol without any change.

If you simply can't get any currency rates, then right/left symbol has nothing to do with it. OC 3.0.2.0 still uses Yahoo Finance service, which is dead for like 1.5 years.

Apologies, I was getting this confused with another thread.

If you're still stuck, you could pay a developer from Commercial Support.

Ok, thanks for all your help, and thanks to thekrotek, whilst i had already read your response about Yahoo currency update being dead and found https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=32352 and installed it, the default options did nothing, tried XE.com, which set the currencies to 0! not what was required, so tried the alphavantage option, got the API, applied it, updated currencies and there it was. I will bear your app in mind as well thekrotek.
Thanks for all of your help.
