Bonjour, je suis confronté à un problème avec votre plugin : une fois activé, sur mon blog j’ai l’erreur : error request status is 500. C’est très dommage car il est le seul qui me convienne. Si vous avez une solution !
Merci beaucoup

こんにちは。あなたのwidgetを利用させていただいております。すばらしいwidgetです。かっこいいし。大好きです。ひとつ質問なのですが、最近私のサイトの利用者が増えたようで、widgetが利用できない状態であることが多いです。

Hi,

I am just wondering if your plugin can be used on a non widget enabled side bar? If so what is the php code for it?

Thanks a lot.

Ovidiu,

The plugin is fetching data from different sources, including Yahoo Finance on a daily basis.

Okoth,
The data rate used for USD to IDR conversion is obtained from data published by the European Central Bank. I have checked their rates versus others (Yahoo finance, Google’s integrated conversion) and they all differ! You would think that the conversion rate is somewhat approximately the same but nope…

I could bump up Yahoo Finance priority but then someone might ask me to prioritize ECB… Should I end up making an average of all the rates?!

I might have to issue a new version of the plugin where you could specify your preference for the currency rate data.

Let me know what you think.

Is there a way to fetch the data from Yahoo? The difference between the shown rate and the real rate is almost 3% now. It’s not accurate.

where is the plugin fetching the currency rates from? is it fetching them daily?
