updating currency table
I need to write a script for Cron to update currency conversion rates automatically, daily. But I don't know which table stores the currency conversion fields. Anyone know which one it is? Else i am faced with 1 by 1 search... thanks in advance,

Re: updating currency table
Thanks, but its only a small time investment for me to setup the program in perl or objective-c.

Re: updating currency table
The table is core_settings. Set the 'value' for the following 'id's:
core.currconv.AUD
core.currconv.CAD
core.currconv.CHF
core.currconv.EUR
core.currconv.GBP
core.currconv.JPY
core.currconv.USD
Assuming your base currency for your system is USD, make sure that one is set to '1.0000' and all others are multiples based on the USD conversion value.

Re: updating currency table
got it. Thanks! Also, I wanted to add other currencies. I tried the steps for doing this in the CCP7 notes, but it failed (i am in CCP8) . I was using the raw sql entry feature. any ideas? i cut and paste...
the entry was
INSERT INTO core_settings VALUES('core.currcdp.PHP', 'Philippine Pesos (PHP): Decimal Character', 'core', 'Currency Settings: Conversions and Symbols', 'TEXTBOX-REG', '', '1', '.', 'Enter the decimal character for the Philippine Pesos (PHP) currency. This character is used in amounts shown in the Australian Dollars (PHP) currency.')
and the error was
A problem was encountered while executing the SQL statement submitted. The error was reported as: The MySQL extension encountered a problem submitting an SQL statement. MySQL reported the error as: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
looks to me like a value is missing. fields and values add up to 9 instead of ten. as far as i can tell...
any help much appreciated.

Re: updating currency table
Use this SQL:
Code:
INSERT INTO core_settings VALUES('core.currcdp.PHP', 'Philippine Pesos (PHP): Decimal Character', 'core', 'Currency Settings: Conversions and Symbols', 'TEXTBOX-REG', '', '', '1', '.', 'Enter the decimal character for the Philippine Pesos (PHP) currency. This character is used in amounts shown in the Australian Dollars (PHP) currency.')We added a 'displayinclude' column in CCP8 which is right before the 'required' column.
