How to add currency selector in header of Magento
In magento by default currency selector renders in right side bar. To show it in the header is not a hard job. This blog will let you know about moving it to header of magento.
First of all setup your desired currencies for your store from magento admin. Now create a new template file and put it under following directory structure :
app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/template/currency/currency.phtml
<?php if($this->getCurrencyCount() > 1): ?> <div class="form-language"> <label for="currency-selector"><?php echo $this->__(Currency') ?></label> <select onchange="window.location.href=this.value" name="currency-selector" id="currency-selector"> <?php foreach ($this->getCurrencies() as $code => $name): ?> <option value="<?php echo $this->getSwitchCurrencyUrl($code)?>" <?php if($code == $this->getCurrentCurrencyCode()): ?> selected="selected" <?php endif; ?>> <?php echo $name ?> </option> <?php endforeach; ?> </select> </div> <?php endif; ?>
Now create following file so that magento use this file to render currency selector.
app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/layout/local.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <layout version="0.1.0"> <default> <reference name="header"> <block type="directory/currency" name="my_currency_selector" template="currency/currency.phtml"/> </reference> </default> </layout>
Now open app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/page/html/header.phtml and add following line :
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('my_currency_selector') ?>
That’s it. Hope this will help you.
