Switch user's country currency automatically

[kelvin1111111]

I would like to modify my home page that will analyse user's IP to determine which country they're come from and after that switch their country currency automatically at first page. Is it possible for me to do so? I try searching any contribution but can't get it.

well, this is far from perfect but I use this :

 

in general.php I add this function :

 

function tep_get_country_by_language($country_code, $give_code = false) {

 

$code1 = substr($country_code,0,2);

then in application_top:

 

after this :

 

if (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['language'])) {

$lng->get_browser_language();

 

$language = $lng->language['directory'];

$languages_id = $lng->language['id'];

 

 

I add:

 

$your_country = tep_get_country_by_language($browser_language, false);

 

if ($lng->language['directory'] == 'english') {

// set first currency based on browser language setting for english/unsupported languages

switch ($your_country) {

case 'USA' : $currency = 'USD';break;

case 'Japan' : $currency = 'JPY';break;

case 'China' : $currency = 'CNY';break;

case 'Hong Kong' : $currency = 'HKD';break;

case 'Singapore' : $currency = 'SGD';break;

case 'Netherlands' : $currency = 'EUR';break;

case 'Italy' : $currency = 'EUR';break;

case 'Germany' : $currency = 'EUR';break;

case 'France' : $currency = 'EUR';break;

case 'Australia' : $currency = 'AUD';break;

case 'UK' : $currency = 'GBP';break;

default : $currency = 'USD';

}

}

 

if (!tep_session_is_registered('currency')) {

tep_session_register('currency');

}

 

 

this will set the currency based on what you support.

The country is based on the browser language settings, if you use IP, that may become very very slow and I would only use that off-line.

Boxtel, thanks for your suggestion, and it worked. However, instead of complexity, I would like to make my online shop just to target two type of customer, which is the one from my country (display my country currency) and others outside my country (display USD as currency).

 

Because in my country(Malaysia), the user will define their browser language to en-us in default, so it has no point to switch currency based on browser language setting. B)

 

By the way, Currently I am looking for free database table that contain my country IP ranges so that I can distinguish the user in Malaysia and outside Malaysia.

 

Cheer always. B)
