That's my fault - poor instructions!

get_conversion will return the result but not output. So you'd need to put...

<?php echo get_conversion('number=145&from=eur&to=usd'); ?>

David.

You would probably need to add the following...

<?php echo get_conversion('number='.$price_meta.'&from=eur&to=usd'); ?>

Hi David, would really appreciate it if you could help. I am using marketpress plugin and the price displayed on product page is called by a function code mp_product_price(), the script on the product page is <?php mp_product_price(); ?> and nothing else, the full code for this function is residing in another file, how can I modify your plugin's function call so that it will take the value returned by mp_product_price() function?
Here's the code from the plugin's template_function page:
function mp_product_price( $echo = true, $post_id = NULL, $label = true ) {
global $id, $mp;
$post_id = ( NULL === $post_id ) ? $id : $post_id;
$label = ($label === true) ? __(' ', 'mp') : $label;
$settings = get_option('mp_settings');
$meta = get_post_custom($post_id);
//unserialize
foreach ($meta as $key => $val) {
$meta[$key] = maybe_unserialize($val[0]);
if (!is_array($meta[$key]) && $key != "mp_is_sale" && $key != "mp_track_inventory" && $key != "mp_product_link" && $key != "mp_file" && $key != "mp_price_sort")
$meta[$key] = array($meta[$key]);
}
if ((is_array($meta["mp_price"]) && count($meta["mp_price"]) == 1) || !empty($meta["mp_file"])) {
if ($meta["mp_is_sale"]) {
$price = '<span class="mp_special_price"><del class="mp_old_price">'.$mp->format_currency('', $meta["mp_price"][0]).'</del> ';
$price .= '<span class="mp_current_price" style="color:red">'.$mp->format_currency('', $meta["mp_sale_price"][0]).'</span></span>';
} else {
$price = '<span class="mp_normal_price"><span class="mp_current_price">'.$mp->format_currency('', $meta["mp_price"][0]).'</span></span>';
}
} else {
return '';
}
$price = apply_filters( 'mp_product_price_tag', '<span class="mp_product_price">' . $label . $price . '</span>', $post_id, $label );
if ($echo)
echo $price;
else
return $price;
}
Finger crossing you could help. Best regards,

Thanks David for replying so quickly, the mp_product_price() returned price together with it's currency, for example, USD 450, and if it's on sale, it would returned a GBP 450 GBP 100, so with your code (which I've tried already before I posted for help), returned exactly "GBP 450". I was thinking about trimming the returned string but I don't know where to start, The format of the price returned has a space in between, i.e. GBP[space]xxx, and take only the latter price by filtering out the strike-through fonts..

Just so you know I didn't post for help with empty hands or not trying to solve it myself first - I am not a coder, I read those codes and tried to make sense out of it, and these are my finders, I hope you can help..

Sincerely,
Cors

LOVE the "currency" is the "from" part! But I think mp_product_price() itself is echo-ing the result (both before and after sale price, the former are strike-throughs), putting your suggested code into the page gave following result:

RM 450.00Artiss Currency Converter Error: No number supplied for conversion

'RM' is the currency I've set for my store, by using your code the from's currency shouldn't matters anymore (thanks for this, again), but I think the RM 450 is returned by the mp_product_price() itself, I never need to echo it out, just place mp_product_price() that's all..

Thanks and I hope you could give me some more hints?

Assuming the currency is returns is the "from" for my currency converter, the following should work...

<?php
$mp_price = mp_product_price();
$currency = substr( $mp_price, 0, strpos( $mp_price, ' ' ) -1 );
$number = substr( $mp_price, strpos( $mp_price, ' ' ) + 1 );
echo get_conversion( 'number=' . $number . '&from=' . $currency . '&to=usd' );
?>

It uses the space between the currency and the number to extract the 2 separately and then calls my conversion passing them on.
