Prestashop exchange rate source

[xavilt]

Hi,

 

I would like to know where does prestashop gets the currencies exchange from. This is, which is the source of the file http://api.prestashop.com/xml/currencies.xml.

I have another currency exchange source (European Central Bank, https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml) and it varies a little.

 

Thanks,

xavi

hello
/admin-dir/cron_currency_rates.php is the file that runs currency exchange rates update process.

the most important is refreshCurrencies() function in currency class (classes/currency.php)

Hi Vekia,

 

thanks for the information. I had already checked how PS handles this cron and I got its final currency rates XML source http://api.prestashop.com/xml/currencies.xml

What I would like to know is where this feed information, the rates on it, are got from. I've checked some other rates sources (ecb, xe.com) and the rates they have do not match with PS xml one.

 

Thanks,

xavi

i have no idea what is the source of these rates.
 

 

 

and the rates they have do not match with PS xml one.

yes, its common problem, recent times currency exchage rates that prestashop shares were not updated for ~2 weeks :| This is why i developed plugin to update currency rates with ecb

i asked PS team to answer here, im also interested in this case

It looks good. Does it need any special configuration? Does it store the values on the ps_currency - conversion_rate field? The source ecb file is https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml?
