Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x updated to version 3.0.2.140210-Beta

/in , ,

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 3.0.2.140210-Beta. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Preliminary compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1
  • As anticipated earlier today, the architecture of WooCommerce 2.1 is significantly different from 2.0.x. Some of the changes introduced in this version break backward compatibility, thus causing undesired side effect in 3rd party plugins. We are now working to address issues caused by such update.
  • The following issues have been addressed:
    • Fixed error message related to absence of WC_Google_Analytics class
      Such class was part of WooCommerce core until version 2.0.20. From 2.1, it has been moved to a separate plugin.
    • Adapted logic to retrieve order currency
      WooCommerce 2.0 and 2.1 handle order attributes differently. Plugin logic has been modified to cater for both versions.
    • Fixed issue in displaying order totals in orders list page
      Order totals are handled correctly throughout the purchase process, but they are displayed incorrectly on Orders page in WC2.1 (again, due to a change in the core logic). Such issue has been addressed.
  • Removed unnecessary files.

Please note that compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1 is still in Beta and there may be issues to be addressed. We do not recommend using such version with the Currency Switcher on a live site.

Pending issues

  • Reports display incorrect totals
    WooCommerce 2.1 implements a completely new logic to render reports, which doesn’t trigger the Currency Switcher functions. We are now analysing the new code to ensure that the reports are generated correctly.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x updated to version 2.6.2.140205

/in , ,

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 2.6.2.140205. This is an important update, and it includes several new, important features that have been requested by many of our customers:

A shortcode to display the currency selector widget

From version 2.6 onward, in addition to original method of displaying the widget in a sidebar, it’s finally possible to display it in any page, by simply calling the shortcode, as in the example below:
[aelia_currency_selector_widget title="Widget title (optional)" widget_type="dropdown|buttons"]

A new layout for the currency selector widget

As you may have noticed, the shortcode accepts two parameters, one of which is the type of widget to display. The Currency Switcher now includes the classic widget with a dropdown list of currencies, and a new one that displays a button for each enabled currency. Both layouts can be overridden by copying the widget template files into your theme, allowing you to display the widget in any way you like. Further instructions can be found on a the Documentation section on plugin’s settings page

In addition to the above new features, this version also brings the following improvements and bug fixes:

  • Optimised data retrieval from Open Exchange Rates. Retrieval of data from Open Exchange Rates is now faster and more stable
  • Fixed dashboard reports. The dashboard reports were displaying the wrong totals, due to a mixup in the currencies. This issue has now been fixed. Note: the main reports have always been correct, the bug only affected the dashboard report widgets.

Overall, a great new release, of which we are very happy. We would like to thank all the people who contributed with their feedback, allowing us to improve our product and bring it to its current level.
