Currency connector

Hi Kevin,

I hope all is well,

I am not aware of any Currency Connectors (plugin) that are available, however I have been made aware of some developments within the wider team that might help in this situation.

Let me reach out to my team this morning to get some additional information. I will then update you come the end of the day :-)

Regards,

Mark

Hi Kevin,

So I have discussed this with the wider team and as of yet the only connectors available are with what we have available within the marketplace, however I did obtain the below information if this helps:

"I do see one suggestion made in the past was to "use a new table and an external PHP/cron job to update that table, then you can point Yellowfin to the table and do some basic calculations between currencies (just numbers)." I don't have any more information/context surrounding that, however, and the person who offered that as an option is no longer here, but it is one idea that might have more meaning to you.

The other possibility I can think of as a potential option would be utilising Custom Formatters, which you can read about on the corresponding Wiki page here. If you look at the Custom Formatter Code Examples page as well, you'll see there's an example there for CurrencyFormatter.java, which may be used to output different numerical values to different currency prefixes."

With this my only recommendations would be to take a look through CDATA.

Let me know your thoughts.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Please see the comment from the customer:

“

Thanks,

But I don’t think this is what we are needing as it seems to be talking more to format so showing the currency symbol against numeric values. I need to the day to day currency conversion rates that I can use to convert local country currency such as Botswana Pula to USD.”

Kind regards,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

As it stands we don't have anything of this capability within our Marketplace. As this is third party I would only recommend looking through CDATA to see if anything within that can be of any assistance.

Going forward with this I have reached out to the wider team to see if they have any advice with what options we have with this.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the response, I did forward it to the client while we await for feedback from your team.

Kind regards,

Hi Kevin,

Just a little update with the CData side of things that I mentioned. We have officially launched this;

This may be of help.
