New module: Currency Selection

The Currency Selection module allows the presentation of prices on the currency the visitor chooses, on online stores. Useful for international online stores where the company does not want to use a Currency Conversion module.

The Currency Selection module makes possible to assign (manually) prices in different currencies for each product. The Currency Conversion module updates prices automatically (by using an external motor), with no need to assign or correct prices whenever the currency conversion taxes change, for example.

On the CMS, prices can be set, for each product, on different currencies.

On the frontoffice, an area similar to an idiom selector, allows the user to select the currency he/she wants to view all prices in. This value is then saved in session and cookie, in a way that, in future visits, the user will still view prices in the selected currency.

Throughout the entire visit, unless the visitor changes the selector, prices will be viewed in the selected currency.
