Change Currency Selector to Drop Down

[PrestaHeroes.com]

Adding currencies for a customer shop and it would look much better (for many currencies) if the currency is in a drop down.  Note: the currency will be auto selected by their IP country...

 

Is there an easy way to accomplish this and keep their thememing?

 

Thanks in advance for looking at this...

vekia...i am waiting...jajajaja

If i were you i will use default currencies switcher .tpl file (and css styles)

it should work 

 

EDIT:

are you able to do it now?  

[vekia]

tpl: http://pastebin.com/x7RCXbcM

css: http://pastebin.com/PXWXpAS1

yes, I thought that might be the best way to go...but then I thought best to solicit advice.

 

I will copy the default block currency into the theme folder...

 

and post back with results

ok, so I copied a 1.5.4.1 blockcurrency into the theme folder.  What I am having a problem with is changing the .css in the module folder...i.e. the background etc.  when I inspect the element it shows in the .css in the theme cache...but it seems to pick up the changes...

 

but it does not actually do a straight drop down

and I've tried to remove the black background of the drop down...but it has no affect.

 

    /*background:#000000;*/  on line 58
 

 

your review is much appreciated.

Hello, maybe just find this line in your css code:

#currencies_block_top ul#first-currencies li {margin-left: 0;margin-right: 5px;float: left;}

and comment the float:left; command :   /*float:left*/

 

will help. See you

nope, could not find it.  when it comes to css...I need a lot of hand holding

[Pabs]

Could not give you the exact path because as CSS is "compressed" I got something like this:

that did in fact help...but we are off a little and where the heck is that stupid black background coming from?

 

1073 now commented out (i.e. float:left)

[Pabs]

Nice, happy to hear that.

Go to  /modules/blockcurrencies/blockcurrencies.css   line 49

 

and comment or change the background-color property

Go to  /modules/blockcurrencies/blockcurrencies.css   line 49

done

 

now just the alignment issue and I can walk away and never do this again.

 

I was modifying the blockcurrencies.css in the theme folder....ave maria..

Where exactly do you want to display it ?

[PrestaHeroes.com]

the drop down currencies should align with the selected currency...now they are somewhat shifted to the left of that.

 

where are you located pabs?

[Pabs]

In the same file (line 49) just change this:

...
right:3px;
padding: 5px 10px;
...

to

...
right:0px;
padding:5px 0px;
...

I'm in Belgium right now (nice beer) . 

[Pabs]

And remember that comment a line in css files should be something temporary. Once you're sure just remove the commented lines.

 

Have a nice day.
