Settings and rate status

Open the settings via Modules → Module Manager → WEB Vision – Automatické kurzy mien ECB → Configure.

If you run several shops (multistore), the settings are saved for the shop selected in the admin header. Settings saved for “all shops” apply to shops that have no settings of their own.

Field	Meaning
Enabled	Main switch.
Largest rate change	10 % by default. A larger change is not written automatically; it waits for confirmation. 0 = no check.
Currency update	For each currency except the default: turns on updating from the ECB.
Markup type	Percentage or fixed amount.
Markup amount	Added to the ECB rate.

The Rate status (Stav kurzov) panel shows:

• the time of the last update,
• pending rates with the Confirm and write button,
• the Update now button,
• the address for cron,
• the history of changes.

If a rate changed by more than the allowed limit, the module does not write it and shows it as pending. Check it and click Confirm and write. You also receive an e-mail to the shop’s address (or the address entered in the settings). It is sent once per ECB day while the rate waits. The notification can be turned off.

The history of rate changes is in the mv_currencyrate_log table. It is kept for 3 months; older records are deleted at the next update. Uninstalling does not delete it.

1. The module downloads eurofxref-daily.xml from the ECB. On an error the rates stay unchanged.
2. For each enabled currency it calculates the rate against the default currency (cross via EUR) and adds the markup.
3. A change larger than the limit is stored as pending. After confirmation it is written.
4. The rate is written for all shops and a record is added to the history.

Important:

• If the rate is already written, running it again changes nothing.
• A rate you changed by hand is reset by the module at the next run to the ECB rate with the markup.
• Already created orders are not changed by the rate.
