Open lipatovroman opened 7 years ago

lipatovroman commented 7 years ago

Hi! Please implement new field type - CurrencyType Field. Or price field with currencies. Main feature - is switching currencies on site. We should have ability to add base currency and additional currencies with rates.

For example base currency - US Dollar Additional currency Euro - rate = 0.96 of base currency.

Hello I think you can this with custom ouput mode on text field Its à very specific field for a specific project

lipatovroman commented 7 years ago

I will try custom ouput mode. Now, I just added rate variable in template. But I not agree, that this is specific field. Any e-commerce component have it. It uses in real estate projects.

Feel the difference: "build project with CCK FlexiContent" instead of "build project with FC and other 3rd-party extensions". Gorgeus already replied in forum

a new field type "currency" would be needed to be created

So, I have created this issue not to forget.

Yes i have suggested that we create a new field

Our generic text/number field is not enough if displaying price in multiple currencies A custom layout can do most of what is needed, but if we would create such a layout, we may as well create a new field to do a complete work

Also a currency field will find usage in a good percentage of websites

I think that this field should have something like a discount option, or old/new price option.

I think this is a great idea, I can help with integration to exchange rate APIs, like this:
