Change Currency Via URL? [SOLVED]

Post by testie » Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:14 am

I used to be able to change currency through URL.

Example: http://opencart/?currency=USD

But it seems like this was removed in an update? I would greatly appreciate if there was an fix for this I found one extension for this but it's for an older version of Opencart.

My site is: http://bersau.se

Running Version 3.0.2.0

Hm I'm pretty sure I have all extensions that I used on previous version of OC. And I find a lot of posts on the forum when people are suggesting the /?currency= trick. And I can't find any extension for it for 3.0.2.0

I found a post where you uploaded a .xml fix for this but I can't install it, probably because it's and old version ?

This was a total shot in the dark but it worked, can't tell you how happy I am

Found this post how to change language via URL:
viewtopic.php?f=190&t=143696#p556676

And just switched the lang & language attributes to "currency" and it worked!

So here is the solution for you who might stumble upon this post if you need to solve this problem:

Insert code below after the line 4 in the file catalog\controller\common\language.php

Code: Select all

if (isset($this->request->get['currency'])) {
 
    $this->session->data['currency'] = $this->request->get['currency'];
 
    $this->response->redirect($this->url->link('common/home'));
}

Well done, and it saved me from looking around for this again,
after I've installed it in a TestShop, but many Moon's ago...
I now installed both Routines, because one never know's,
it may one day be of use ...
Thanks, Ernie
