\nIn 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.\n<\/p>\n
\nFirst 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 :\n<\/p>\n
\napp\/design\/frontend\/your_package\/your_theme\/template\/currency\/currency.phtml\n<\/p>\n
[php]
\n<?php if($this->getCurrencyCount() > 1): ?>
\n<div class="form-language">
\n <label for="currency-selector"><?php echo $this->__(Currency’) ?><\/label>
\n <select onchange="window.location.href=this.value" name="currency-selector" id="currency-selector">
\n <?php foreach ($this->getCurrencies() as $code => $name): ?>
\n <option value="<?php echo $this->getSwitchCurrencyUrl($code)?>"
\n <?php if($code == $this->getCurrentCurrencyCode()): ?>
\n selected="selected"
\n <?php endif; ?>>
\n <?php echo $name ?>
\n <\/option>
\n <?php endforeach; ?>
\n <\/select>
\n<\/div>
\n<?php endif; ?>
\n[\/php]<\/p>\n
\nNow create following file so that magento use this file to render currency selector.\n<\/p>\n
\napp\/design\/frontend\/your_package\/your_theme\/layout\/local.xml\n<\/p>\n
[php]
\n<?xml version="1.0"?>
\n<layout version="0.1.0">
\n <default>
\n <reference name="header">
\n <block type="directory\/currency" name="my_currency_selector" template="currency\/currency.phtml"\/>
\n <\/reference>
\n <\/default>
\n<\/layout>
\n[\/php]<\/p>\n
\nNow open app\/design\/frontend\/your_package\/your_theme\/page\/html\/header.phtml and add following line :\n<\/p>\n
[php]
\n<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘my_currency_selector’) ?>
\n[\/php]<\/p>\n
\nThat’s it. Hope this will help you.\n<\/p>\n
\n
