DX Currency converter Firefox Add-on

The story
Being a DX addict for a while now, I always suffered a major disadvantage of shopping abroad, Namely the prices are not on my local currency. Although I know its always cheap on DX, it is still hard dealing with a foreign currency. That's why i created a Firefox add on that i wanted to share with all my fellow DX addicts :D The add-on It is a Firefox add on that allows you to 'change' the currency used on the dealextreme website. you can set up any currency and the add-on will do the price converting and currency course updating by itself. It also supports changing the imperial size units to the metric system. It has been up on the Firefox add-on site for a while now, and so far it has been downloaded more than 4000 (!!!) times. Download You can find the extension and some screenshots at: http://dxcc.profab.nl/ ___________ DX Currency Converter firefox add-on - threadid: 152184 |

That looks like a nice little tool. If I had a need for it, I'd probably check it out... but as USD and CAD are pretty much par, I don't really need to convert. One thing, I'd rather have both the converted and the original prices alongside each other everywhere, like you do for the checkout.

Can you set the price to swedish kronor? Or is it only euro and pound?

You can use any currency google supports in their price conversion.
(because that is where the currency course is taken from, the actual calculation takes place in the extension itself) @swinginswirlie You can set the 'double pricing' in the preferences. It is possible on any page. (but not shown in the screenshots) ___________ DX Currency Converter firefox add-on - threadid: 152184 |

Do anyone know what I am doing wrong? :(

No, I gave the exakt same problem as you have (I'm swedish too). I think the problem lies in the "Local currency symbol" box but I just can't figure out what to type in there :/
However, for a good asetimate of what the price will be you can calculate the Euro and multiply it with 10 (1€ ~ 9,50 SEK). At least that's what I will do. |

To All the swedish people:
Use the following settings: Local Currency name: swedish kronor Local Currency symbol: SEK and give your browser a restart (this forces the currency converter to update it's cources) it should work fine. ___________ DX Currency Converter firefox add-on - threadid: 152184 |
