change currency by GET or URL method was created by ler@singmuiheng.com
I want to set up something like fedex.com that let user chose their country then redirect them to a page, but the problem is the currency is not showing their country correctly

is it possible to set the link to some url that show the correct currency?

somehow maybe like www.hikashop.com/index.php?component=curr&id=USD ?

Hi,

I think that using the module "hikashop currency switcher" will do it, you'll just have to publish it through your joomla module manager.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,
We have a client who wants his visitors to be able to select their region(and currency) before they move into the main site. We plan to have a separate html page for country selection which redirects to the main joomla site. Is there any way to set the visitors choice through the url?

Hi,

You can use such URL:
Code:
http://www.hikashop.com/index.php?component=com_hikashop&ctrl=currency&task=update&hikashopcurrency=2
where 2 is the id of the currency in HikaShop.

Hi,

I tried using the url. It didn't work. I also tried it with SEF urls turned off. Same results.

I'm trying it on the localhost. Is that an issue?

I used this url:
Code:
http://localhost/fashionstore/index.php?component=com_hikashop&ctrl=currency&task=update&hikashopcurrency=2

I also tried it on the HikaShop Demo site. Doesn't seem to work.

It's "option" not "component" in the URL. I got perturbed by your URL :)
so the full URL to change the currency is:
Code:
http://www.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=currency&task=update&hikashopcurrency=2

Thanks a lot!!! It works!

You will also need to add
Code:
&return_url=http://some_url/
to redirect. Otherwise it will show a blank page (but it will work).

I tried this:
Code:
http://localhost/fashionstore/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=currency&task=update&hikashopcurrency=2&return_url=http://localhost/fashionstore/
