No manual multi-currency in new version?

  • I have a persistent bug which causes the checkout button of the cart widget to show a wrong language ( it translates where it shouldn’t ). The ‘view cart’ button is fine for some reason. I believe ( when searching ) this might be caused by a js bug there should be fixed by now.

    I updated to the latest version on my development machine. Is it true that it’s no longer possible to manually enter prices via the translation interface and that you have to choose between multi-currency with conversion ( which I don’t want ) or nothing at all? ( And why? ) .

    I have a custom implementation to do convert the shipping prices because there is no multi-currency solution for shipping prices with Woocommerce normally. This also breaks because the class names changed, but I guess I can figure my way around that (in case you have good advice ).

    Can you advice me on the manual currency setting though? (And confirm if you killed that cart widget problem; it’s not in the changelog ). Thanks!

  • Hi Bas Schuiling,

    We have certainly removed the ‘manual pricing per translations’ as we felt that prices should be linked to currencies instead of languages. With WCML 3.1 we’ve introduced great new multi-currency functionality making currencies non dependent of languages and we are planing to bring more improvement on 3.2 release. And among all these new features there is the ability to set different prices for each product and currency. ??

    You can take a deeper look here: https://wpml.org/2013/12/planned-multi-language-currency-setup-woocommerce-multilingual-3-2/

    We also fixed some shipping issues so with latest version you should be able to see the shipping prices converted in each currency without a problem. (if tis issue persist, can you tell us if you’re using some extension to calculate those shipping costs?)

    As for the cart widget issue, we also have fixed some related bugs, so it makes sense (some widget issues are still related to caching & optimization plugins).

    Please take a look at the new 3.2 planned features. We’ll be glad to hear your opinion! ??

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.

    Of course the solution is much better, but I’m trying to fix this into an existing site. Since I needed to update WCML and WPML and all sublibraries it’s really hard to see where it goes wrong. I had everything set to manual currency and it was buggy. But when updated and switching to the new version this happens:

    – My default language products ( Danish ) fully disappear from the front
    – The 2nd language (English) displays prices in Danish Krone
    – The language switcher converts ( which -never- should happen )
    – The ‘translated’ amounts in Euro’s are gone

    I read the ‘read more’ section which is linked ( https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/ ) there is no setting ‘ set distinct currency per language’ in my installation.

    How and where should I be able to put this currency to that language, very simply. Danish people can only pay in crown, the rest in euro’s.

    Hi Bas Schuiling,

    I think it would be better to open a ticket with your issue in our WPML support forum. That way we could be able to take a deeper look at your site to debug it and help you in a better way. Can you please post it here -> https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/ ? We’ll be more than glad to help! ??

    Thanks,
    Bernat
