If you want to be able to change the currency dynamically, you can create a little jquery script that will modify the content of your page. Put the original value in hidden fields with a class "original-value" and append the converted value to the hidden field: $(document).ready(function() { $('input.original-value').each(function() { $(this).after(($(this).val() * exchange_rate) + 'euros'); }); }); This is just a basic idea, but a script that loads the currency and the associated exchange rate from a form, as well as creating correct html code should not be much longer. You would still need some server-side conversion for users who don't have javascript enabled, but depending on your needs this might not be an issue.

seems a good solution. By the way i want to let the user the posibility to modify the currency himself. Until now i´ve built a module that allows him to insert the currency, and i store this value on the database. How can i access to this value from php? I know that i can use node-> * to access some values, but i don´t know how to access other external data not in the node.

Thanks a lot for your help.

There is a 'computed field' module for cck. this wouldn't take into consideration current exchange rates dynamically, but it might work.

Hi everybody,

i need to develop a module that simply accepts an input user, say for example a currency conversion. I need to use this data to make a conversion in views module.

I have a type of content with a field named price. The user inserts a new page of this type of content and fills the price. The final objective is to be able to get from views the conversion ratio to apply the needed conversions and show the price in 2 different currencys.

I don´t need to use an ecommerce module because the web is much more symple than this. I also don´t know if that is the best or simplier solution.

Anyone could guide me on how to start or where to look for more information?

Thanks a lot in advance.
