Re: [mv] "currency convert" oddity or bug?

[Robert Schaller <robert.schaller@ngi.de>]

Hi Klaus,

I used a USERTAG to do price conversion (converting DM to EURO). I found
the setlocale cluttered the templates and it didn't work properly.

I hope it helps. It should be no problem to adapt it to different
currencies.

You could define a tag for each currency ( [CZ],[US],[GB],etc.. ).

add to catalog.cfg:

UserTag euro Interpolate
UserTag euro HasEndTag
UserTag euro Routine <<EOR

sub{    
        my($dm_betrag)= @_;
        my $euro_betrag = $dm_betrag / 1.95583;
        $euro_betrag = sprintf("%.2f", $euro_betrag );
        $euro_betrag =~ s/\./,/g;
        return "EUR ".$euro_betrag;
}
EOR

usage: [euro]amount[/euro]
for example: [euro][item-price noformat=1][/euro]

have fun!
Robert
