Opencart is now one of world most famous free shopping cart system extensively used make ecommerce website. But sometime when we are developing a ecommerce website we have to face some challenges, and for this we have depend on opencart extension or if your problem not solved by extension then you have to fixed. Recently One of my client’s requirement was when a visitor come from Country India Currency will be automatically set to currency INR otherwise Currency $.
Basically we don’t get enough time to develop a plugin for this so have to purchase a extension auto IP based currency changer extension.But the extension failed to detect Indian IP , if we send ip details to the IP API provider they never update the correct details, so I later inspected the issue and find they never used api they used a SQL file so its not going to update regulary.
I had very tight timeline so I have done some googling and developed my own script and its work better. so in this post I am going share that code.
Steps for IP based Currency change
Create currency INR, if you don’t how then google it or follow this tutorial here.
Deactive all currency except $ and INR and set INR as default currency.
Next take a backup of file currency.php located at system/library/cart/ (Tested on Opencart 2.X version) and save at safe location. Now Create a file currency.php at system/library/cart/ with code given below.
$this->db = $registry->get('db');
$this->language = $registry->get('language');
$this->request = $registry->get('request');
$this->session = $registry->get('session');
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "currency");
foreach ($query->rows as $result) {
$this->currencies[$result['code']] = array(
'currency_id' => $result['currency_id'],
'title' => $result['title'],
'symbol_left' => $result['symbol_left'],
'symbol_right' => $result['symbol_right'],
'decimal_place' => $result['decimal_place'],
'value' => $result['value']
);
}
$countrycode = $this->get_client_ip();
//var_dump($this->request);
//echo "Get ".$this->request->get['code']."
";
//echo "Post ".$this->request->post['code']."
";
//echo "Session ".$this->session->data['currency']."
";
//echo "Cookie ".$this->request->cookie['currency']."
";
if (isset($this->request->get['code']) && (array_key_exists($this->request->get['code'], $this->currencies))) {
$this->session->data['currency']=$this->request->get['code'];
}
elseif (isset($this->request->post['code']) && (array_key_exists($this->request->post['code'], $this->currencies))) {
unset($this->session->data['currency']);
$this->session->data['currency']=$this->request->post['code'];
}
elseif ((isset($this->request->cookie['currency'])) && (array_key_exists($this->request->cookie['currency'], $this->currencies))) {
$this->session->data['currency']=$this->session->data['currency'];
}
// elseif ((isset($this->session->data['currency'])) && (array_key_exists($this->session->data['currency'], $this->currencies))) {
// $this->session->data['currency']=$this->session->data['currency'];
