Hi All,
I was wondering is it possible to place de currency drop down menu right next to the language selection in the search box?
If so, how do I do it,
I'm sorry if it's a silly question but I'm just starting to work with this
Thanks,
Joe
It's not a silly question, to do so is actually somewhat tricky.
This is probably the easiest way I can think of.,,
Open "opencart\catalog\controller\common\header.php" and look for this code:
Modify the code to look like this:
Save and close this file.
Now open "opencart\catalog\view\theme\default\template\common\header.tpl"
Add this code wherever you want your currency module to appear:
Save and close this file.
Now the module should appear in your page when you refresh it... however it is still styled to look like a sidebar module. In order to change it's appearance you'll need to open and edit this file: "opencart\catalog\view\theme\default\template\module\currency.tpl"
Hope that helps, let me know how it works out for you buddy.

Anyone else have a different solution to this problem?

Is there a way to get currency and language in a sidebox?

Yes, currency is already a sidebox you can enable/disable in the admin. To get language into a sidebox, try this mod:vimal wrote:Is there a way to get currency and language in a sidebox?
Add this to your catalog\controller\common\column_right.php, try adding it just before $this->render();
Code: Select all
$this->children[] ='common/language';
Code: Select all
<div id="column_right">
<?php foreach ($modules as $module) { ?>
<?php echo ${$module['code']}; ?>
<?php } ?>
<div class="box">
<div class="top">Language</div>
<div class="middle"><?php echo $language; ?></div>
<div class="bottom"> </div>
</div>
</div>
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi huhitschris
Thanks for the reply. It does work however, I am trying to save some real estate and get language and currency in the same box. Also, I ave 2 languages on the website and hence the div top can't be just "language".
I have got it on top (header) at the moment and really feel currency and language should have its own sidebox called localization or something. I also feel that the header looks too crowded. It looks better with just the logo and search.

Could you provide a contribution to the community that has language and currency in a sidebox like a combined module?
I would surely be a million times thankful to you!

You can just mod your currency module to include language,
edit "catalog\controller\module\currency.php" and insert this line before $this->render(); :
edit "catalog\view\theme\default\template\module\currency.tpl" to add the echo $language;:
The title of the module will still say "currency", so just go into your language files and change the 'heading_title' to whatever you prefer. Take English for example... change 'catalog\language\english\module\currency.php' :
Now your cart should show both currency and language inside the "localisation'" module
Let me know how that works for ya.
edit "catalog\controller\module\currency.php" and insert this line before $this->render(); :
Code: Select all
$this->children[] = 'common/language';
Code: Select all
<div class="box">
<div class="top"><img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/icon_currency.png" alt="" /><?php echo $heading_title; ?></div>
<form action="<?php echo $action; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="currency_form">
<div class="middle" style="text-align: center;">
<select name="currency_code" onchange="$('#currency_form').submit();">
<?php foreach ($currencies as $currency) { ?>
<?php if ($currency['status']) { ?>
<?php if ($currency['code'] == $default) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $currency['code']; ?>" selected="selected"><?php echo $currency['title']; ?></option>
<?php } else { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $currency['code']; ?>"><?php echo $currency['title']; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="<?php echo $redirect; ?>" />
<?php echo $language; ?>
</div>
</form>
<div class="bottom"> </div>

Code: Select all
$_['heading_title'] = 'Localisation';Let me know how that works for ya.

Got the 2 things in the same box..that is great. However, when I try to change the currency it doesn't change it.
If I remove the <?php echo $language; ?> from module/currency.tpl, the crrency change works...
Any idea what it could be?

Ahh yes, you have two overlapping form tag from the two modules. Try this instead, let me know how it works out:
Code: Select all
<div class="box">
<div class="top"><img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/icon_currency.png" alt="" /><?php echo $heading_title; ?></div>
<div class="middle" style="text-align: center;">
<form action="<?php echo $action; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="currency_form">
<select name="currency_code" onchange="$('#currency_form').submit();">
<?php foreach ($currencies as $currency) { ?>
<?php if ($currency['status']) { ?>
<?php if ($currency['code'] == $default) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $currency['code']; ?>" selected="selected"><?php echo $currency['title']; ?></option>
<?php } else { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $currency['code']; ?>"><?php echo $currency['title']; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="<?php echo $redirect; ?>" />
</form>
<?php echo $language; ?>
</div>
<div class="bottom"> </div>
</div>

Hi Chris,
I used your edits to get currency up under Language (have an alignment problem there). However I still have currency (used to be a box) in right column (leftover).
Is it possible for you (or anyone else) to point me in the direction/file that I need to edit in order to get rid of this. I have looked through files "I" thought may need editing but couldn't find anything I recognised.
TIA

Yea, just go into your admin area and disable the currency module, don't worry it will still show up at the top where you made the mod, but won't appear on the side anymore.cmebd wrote: I used your edits to get currency up under Language (have an alignment problem there).

Much more importantly, you need to address a HUGE problem with your website design. See here: http://bancomicsans.com/home.html
shame on you!
