SilverStripe Currency-Converter module
======================================

[](#silverstripe-currency-converter-module)

Retrieve, store and apply currency conversions in your SilverStripe site.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require internetrix/currency-converter

```

Displaying rates
----------------

[](#displaying-rates)

To output a converted currency, call the ConvertibleCurrency class and include the amount. If the amount is not in the base currency, include the amount's currency. If it requires conversion to a specific currency, include that target currency. `ConvertibleCurrency::convert($amount, $amountCurrency, $targetCurrency)`

From inside a template, simply add "AutoConversion" to the output variable. To get the currency symbol, append "Full". AutoConversion can also accept two parameters: base and target currency. `Total Price: $Total.AutoConversion.Full`

To switch the display rate, add the target currency to the URL using a "uscc" variable (it then persists for the session.) For example, to show aussie dollars: `http://somewhere.com/mypage/?uscc=AUD`

Refreshing the rates
--------------------

[](#refreshing-the-rates)

To get the latest currency conversion rates, run the included task with a daily cron. It populates the database with conversions between all configured cuurencies. `/dev/tasks/UpdateCurrencyRatesTask`

API Configuration
-----------------

[](#api-configuration)

The module connects to Fixer.io for the latest currency conversion rates as supplied by the European Central Bank. Currently it reports 31 currencies. To use a different API, update the config.yml `latest_currency_rates_api : 'http://api.fixer.io/latest'`

The currency locale information is listed in the yaml file, this is not comprehensive and may need updating. Amend it to include/exclude the rates saved into the database, using the `other_currencies` section.

Note there is one additional lookup to geoplugin.com to determine the current user's locale.
