Displaying shopping cart total in multi currencies

[Nick]

Hi all

We've just launched a new site for a client ( www.stitch1knit1.com ) but there is one outstanding task which we need some help with.

The client would like to display the shopping cart total in Euros and Dollars as well as the default GBP.

If you go to the shopping cart of the above site, you'll see that we were hoping to use NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL and apply the currency conversion with some javascript. Alas, this particular NQV will not work in the template we want to use it in (Act_ShoppingCart.html).

Can anyone suggest any other way of achieving the desired effect?

I suspect that this may require some modification of the perl script to do this..... but we don't have sufficient perl knowledge.

Any developers out there that can help? The client is willing to pay.

Kind regards

Nick

Although that variable does not work in Act_ShoppingCart.html, it does work in ActShoppingCartXML.html - the template for the shopping cart grid itself. Try your changes in that.

Thanks Chris

The problem with using that template is that the message we are trying to write onto the page would appear above the shopping cart buttons.


Thanks anyway

This kludge may help. If you have a NETQUOTEVAR that is only valid in an earlier template, then in that valid template do e.g.

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var temp = 'NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL';
// -->
</script>


Now in the place you want the displayed item do

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
document.write(temp);
// -->
</script>
