Adding a currency
You can add a currency by loading an XML file.
About this task
To add a currency to your store using an XML file:
Procedure
- Create an XML file that uses the wc.dtd as shown in the
following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE import SYSTEM "wcs.dtd"> <import> <!-- Insert currency asset information here --> </import>
- Within the import element, add
CURLIST elements followed by CURCONVERT elements.
You must populate these columns of the CURLIST table:
- storeent_id
- currstr
You must populate these columns of the CURCONVERT table:
- storeent_id
- fromcurr
- tocurr
- factor
- multiplyordivide
- bidirectional
- updatable
- curconvert_id
- Optionally, if you want to display prices both in the shopping
currency, and a counter currency (for example, display prices in both
the Netherlands guilder and the euro), you must also add information
to the CURCVLIST table.
You must populate these columns of the CURCVLIST table:
- storeent_id
- currstr
- countervaluecurr
- displayseq
- Run the idresgen utility to resolve entities in the XML file.
- Run the massload utility against your XML file to load your data into the target database.
