Setting up Currencies

You may want to convert the prices of your properties into different currencies for your visitors.
LandShop does this automatically.
  1. In the administration menu, click on Edit Currencies
  2. You will see the list of currently active currencies and a block saying Insert Currency.
  3. Just chose the country from the select menu and enter the name of the currency to the right, then click Enter.
  4. Yes, that's all.. All exchange rates are set automatically in the background
  5. To change a currency just click on the green buttn next to the currency in the list, then change in the same block as above (Now it says Edit this currency)
  6. To delete a currency just click on the red buttn next to the currency in the list.

How are the currencies updated?

Whenever somebody calls a page where exchange rates should be displayed (that's the single property view basically) an internal function is called. This checks the database if the exchange rate has already been update on the same day.
If not, a query is done to the echange rate server, the rate is updated in the database and displayed to the user.
This is done with all defined rates.

Caution
This process will slow down the process of building the page. It will do that only once a day, don't worry, but in order for your visitor who is triggering the update not to wait too long you should not enter too many currencies.
