The next version of Property Agent will have a number of new features (previously discussed):-

  1. Mapping
  2. Customizable search templates
  3. Customizable menu options (add new property, property manager)
  4. Granular security control over the publishing details on the edit property form

And a new one (not mentioned before):-

  1. Live currency conversion. Users can select from a dropdown to save their currency preference (via cookie) and have prices converted automatically (utilising RSS from currencysource.com)
  2. To achieve item 1, a setting has been added to Layout Settings that will allow you to pick from set of currencies to be the default for the module (so it will no longer use the portal locale)

The default set of currencies are:-

  • AUD - Australian Dollar
  • CAD - Canadian Dollar
  • CZK - Czech Koruna
  • EUR - Euro
  • GBP - Pound Sterling
  • JPY - Japanese Yen
  • NZD - New Zealand Dollar
  • NOK - Norwegian Krone
  • USD - U.S. Dollar
  • ZAR - South African Ran

Any requests for more currencies?

Russian currency as well

I ussually have euros but when changing to russian currency
i have to make the price value as a rule of thump * 1.3 in order to include aditional expences for a foreiner who is not familiar with the market (taxes, translator notary public etc) its not so important though if it is too complicated ...

Hm, is there any chance to link currency with other sources (currency lists - RSS from other banks) ?
. . . and to add our own list of currencies ?

Not at the moment, I need both the locale code, e.g. en-US, and the currency code from currency source, e.g. USD.

The Euro Currency symbol is placed to the right hand side of the amount with the new PA. However, all English speaking countries that use the Euro display the currency symbol to the left of the figure.

e.g: Spain, Italy, Portugal = 150,000.00 €

nearly all others: € 150,000.00

It's not official EU policy, just the manner in which people read currency's in these countries.

Can you change this in a future release so that the currency symbol's location can be adjusted by the layout or the host account.
