Custom $price Value (Numbers that will change when currency changed)

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to place custom $price in plain numbers (not using database) that will change when currency changed accordingly?

I have solution for the currency symbol: <?php echo $text_currency; ?> It will change currency symbol accordingly by currency selected.

But I don't have solution for the plain numbers. I don't want to mess with database cause it can cause issues with my current modules. I want to add printing price in product.tpl (catalog/view/theme/template/product) that are the same on every product, but would change accordingly by currency selected.

My code looks like this:

Code: Select all

              <tr style="flex-basis: 33.33333333%; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-content: flex-start; float: left; width: 33.33333333%;">
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%; white-space: nowrap;">Printing*</td>
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%;"><?php echo $text_currency; ?>10.25</td>
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%;"><?php echo $text_currency; ?>9.23</td>
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%;"><?php echo $text_currency; ?>8.82</td>
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%;"><?php echo $text_currency; ?>8.41</td>
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%;"><?php echo $text_currency; ?>8.00</td>
                  <td style="flex-basis: 100%;"><?php echo $text_currency; ?>7.59</td>
              </tr>
Any bright mind can help me out with this? Any shortcut to this without adding values to phpmyadmin, editing controller etc.?

Instead of using a 100% each rows, simply divide the numbers to the closest integer range and add the total row percentage on the top instead of using 33.33333333% . Alternatively, you could try with CSS.

It's 1/3 part of the code and it's not important

I try explain: "<?php echo $text_currency; ?>" this line anywhere in catalog/view/theme/default/template will add currency symbol which will change when store currency is changed. You select dollars it shows $, you select euros it shows €

I want: "<?php echo $text_currency; ?>10.25" that number 10.25 would be treated as $price and would be transformed to another currency.

The way to make it is to create vqmod module, edit controller etc add values to database and get what i want. I only need 5 numbers (printing price) that would be same on all product pages and would change accordingly to set currency rate when currency in store is changed.
