Convert currencies in Craft CMS.

Craft Currency

Convert currencies in Craft CMS 2.

Set-up

The plugin uses the fixer.io API for currency conversions. The service requires an access key to be provided, which can be acquired for free from the website.

Paid plans also have the option to specify requests are made over HTTPS, and the plugin settings add the ability to enable this option also.

Usage

• from_currency: 3 letter currency symbol (defaults to 'EUR')
• to_currency: 3 letter currency symbol (defaults to 'USD')
• amount: amount in from_currency to convert from (defaults to 1)

---

{{ craft.currency.conversion(from_currency, to_currency, amount) }}

Example

{# Converts 79 Australian dollars to Malaysian Ringits. #}
{{ craft.currency.conversion('AUD', 'MYR', 79) }}

Result

236.4312

Craft currency filter

The currency plugin works well with the currency filter built into Craft.

{# Converts 426 Icelandic krona to Danish kroner, and formats it using currency filter. #}
{{ craft.currency.conversion('ISK', 'DKK', 426)|currency('DKK') }}

Result

DKK20.49

craft-currency's Issues

Yahoo decided to screw up the API. Replacement code here.

Switch out getConversion function code within CurrencyService for the following (exact same cache result and arguments, just use a different service from http://api.fixer.io/.
CurrencyService.php.txt

Craft v3 version

Hi

Are you interested in upgrading to craft cms V3?
If not, do you mind if I fork and give it a go?

fixer.io limited currencies

Seems fixer.io is limited to 31 currencies or so. converter.net maybe a better option? http://www.mycurrency.net/page/Free+Currency+Converter+API

Update plugin due to API changes

Hi,

Last week we had a site go down briefly due to the endpoint provided by fixer being updated and a new requirement that users of the API create an account.

In the short term I've patched this by updating services/CurrencyService.php with the following edits to lines 18 and 19:

$url = '/latest?base='.$from.'&symbols='.$to.'&access_key=ACCESS_KEY'; $client = new \Guzzle\Http\Client('http://data.fixer.io/api');

For the moment I've hardcoded the access key, but it would obviously be more useful if this could be a plugin setting. It might also be worth having an additional setting to specify https or not as the secure endpoint is now only available with a paid plan.

If these updates could be made and released that would be great.

Thanks,

Mark
