Currency selection in footer.php

[Talis]

Hello,

 

I'm wanting to display the currency selection in my site footer as apposed to in an infobox.

Could any kind soul provide me with the code to insert within my footer (or any other location in the site).

 

Thanks in advance.

You should search the contributions download area with keywords, most of the time it is easy to find a solution for the issue concerned:

 

Add Links To Footer Bar

 

There will be some modifications to make, such as substituting the information box that the contribution was designed for with the currency one you need.

 

If that is not something for you then why not add clickable direct text links?

 

I wish you success

Thanks for your reply chooch.

 

I've actually not had any difficulty adding links as stated below to both my header and footer along with images.

I've moved the language selections to my footer without the use of infoboxes but i'm having trouble figuring out the code for the currency choices.

Ultimately i'm looking to use something like Dynamenu to do a stylish dropdown within the footer but first things first.

I am not familiar with Dynamenu but correct me if I am wrong. You are not adding this code from column_right to your footer?:

 

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');

That is correct Chooch, I am not adding

 

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');

 

This is because of two reasons:

 

1. the infobox ruins the formating of the footer

2. I don not want to modify the infobox functions just to suit this one instance.

 

I simply want to display the dropdown selection without any headings.

Hi,

 

Backup not my code just modified a bit..works for me!

Think the other way round !!!

 

Take away the unnecessary html/ code from your currencies.php that calls the infobox....boxes.php functions.

should the look something like this

<?php

/*

$Id: currencies.php,v 1.16 2003/02/12 20:27:31 hpdl Exp $

if (isset($currencies) && is_object($currencies)) {

?>

<!-- currencies //

<tr>

<td>-->

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_CURRENCIES);

 

// new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

reset($currencies->currencies);

$currencies_array = array();

while (list($key, $value) = each($currencies->currencies)) {

$currencies_array[] = array('id' => $key, 'text' => $value['title']);

}

 

$hidden_get_variables = '';

reset($HTTP_GET_VARS);

while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {

if ( ($key != 'currency') && ($key != tep_session_name()) && ($key != 'x') && ($key != 'y') ) {

$hidden_get_variables .= tep_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);

}

}

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('currencies', tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), '', $request_type, false), 'get'),

'align' => 'center',

'text' => tep_draw_pull_down_menu('currency', $currencies_array, $currency, 'onChange="this.form.submit();" class="form_cur"') . $hidden_get_variables . tep_hide_session_id());

//new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

<!-- </td>

</tr>

currencies_eof //-->

<?php

}

?>

 

Then try something like this in the footer of course you will have to modify the html to suit your site.

 

<td width="111" align="right"><?php //class="form_cur"

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');

echo '<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:45px 0 0 0; height:31px"><tr><td class="text_red" height="14" style="vertical-align:middle">'.BOX_HEADING_CURRENCIES.'</td></tr><tr><td>';

echo ($info_box_contents[0]['form']);

echo ($info_box_contents[0]['text']);

echo "</form></td></tr></table>";?></td>

 

The class BOX_HEADING_CURRENCIES part you should remove if you do not need any headings.
