How to set-up Multicurrency in ofbiz

[rohit]

Hi,

I have a requirement to show product prices in difference currency. From what i understand, ofbiz supports multicurrency, but i have been unable to set it up.

I tried the following actions on the demo ofbiz server. I added the price in GBP for the product ID WG-5569. I did not set the default currency for the store to GBP, but instead tried to set default currency for the session using the the URI http://demo.ofbiz.org/ecommerce/products/PROMOTIONS/p_WG-5569?setSessionCurrencyUom?currencyUom=GBP

Still the prices are shown in USD, i will appreciate if someone can help me with this.

What i am trying to achieve is, that the default currency should be USD, however when user from UK access the products, with URL's amended with currency information, the product page should show the prices in GBP instead of USD.

Thanks for the help.

Rohit

Hi Abhishake,

Did you check the code for setSessionLocale. I guess, that the information for language and currency is stored in the locale session. If you also check the code for create a new webshopping cart, pasted below, it gets the currency from the locale. So i think the code should work as it is, but it does not.

On the demo server too, when the locale is change to say, English (Great Britain), the configurable products shows the prices in GBP and not any other products. Also when a configurable product, quoted in GBP, is added to the shopping card, the currency is change to USD.

I thus think multi-currency feature is already build in, but the code for shoppingcart and product prices have some error.

I did not try your code, but will soon try and let you know if it works for me.

Rohit

    /** Gets or creates the shopping cart object */
    public static ShoppingCart getCartObject(HttpServletRequest request, Locale locale, String currencyUom) {
        LocalDispatcher dispatcher = (LocalDispatcher) request.getAttribute("dispatcher");
        ShoppingCart cart = (ShoppingCart) request.getAttribute("shoppingCart");
        HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
        if (cart == null) {
            cart = (ShoppingCart) session.getAttribute("shoppingCart");
        } else {
            session.setAttribute("shoppingCart", cart);
        }

        if (cart == null) {
            cart = new WebShoppingCart(request, locale, currencyUom);
            session.setAttribute("shoppingCart", cart);
        } else {
            if (locale != null && !locale.equals(cart.getLocale())) {
                cart.setLocale(locale);
            }
            if (currencyUom != null && !currencyUom.equals(cart.getCurrency())) {
                try {
                    cart.setCurrency(dispatcher, currencyUom);
                } catch (CartItemModifyException e) {
                    Debug.logError(e, "Unable to modify currency in cart", module);
                }
            }
        }
        return cart;
    }

I would suggest to create two ProductStores (for the two currencies)  
associated to two ecommerce sites.

It works for me, even if the currency symbol, and the selected  
currency in the drop down, don't change.
