Ajax currency converter widget for WordPress 
Let me introduce my very first Widget for WordPress: YAACC, an Ajax powered currency converter ! Feel free to try the live version on the right sidebar. As you might have noticed, the user interface is dead-simple. The widget is also optimised with a smart caching system and with compressed javascript and css. The option panel of the widget let you customise the default currencies and the initial amount. Finally, this currency calculator allow you to cutomize the list of available currencies by commenting or uncommenting lines of the complete list of currencies (177 currencies).
Download YAACC, a free Ajax powered currency converter widget for WordPress ! Your ideas or questions are welcomed.

I just downloaded the plugin, and uploaded it to my host server, but it’s still not showing in the WP admin panel. What am I doing wrong. Can you help? I really like this widget.

Hi,
Did you upload the yaacc folder under wp-contents/plugins/ ?
You should have the following structure and files :
/wp-content/
…|
…|–>/plugins/
………|
………|–>/yaacc/
……………|
……………|-/conversions/ (writable, chmod 775)
……………|-ajax-working.gif
……………|-all.js
……………|-money.png
……………|-textfield_bg.gif
……………|-yaacc.php
……………|-yaacc-fetch.php
You should then go to the plugins tab of your administration panel and look for the following entry :
currency-converter 0.9 yet another AJAX currency converter YAACC …
Click on the link to activate the plugin then move to the Presentation tab and click on the Sidebar Widgets sub-tab. You should find the yaacc widget in the list of widgets. Drag and drop it on one of your sidebar (your theme must be widget enabled).
Let me know how it went.

I can’t seem to figure out how to get the widget title to show up in my sidebar. I saw you left a place in the code for it, but I’m not sure how you intend it to be implemented.

Josh,
I am getting ready a version that will fix this problem.
Stay tuned.

I actually figured out a way to do it.

I have uploaded a new version of Yet Another Ajax Currency Converter (YAACC 0.9.3).
Fix for the title option and a minor bug.
Added version and referer check.
Upgrade required: older versions are not supported by the backend anymore.

I tried deactivating the old version, deleting, and uploading and activating the new. For some reason, it says under the second line ‘Reinstall’, and it won’t do any conversions. Check robertastephens.com for what I’m talking about. I made sure to not change ANY code on the new upload.

Thank you for making this plugin. I have install the plugin in the correct folder but when I run it a smiley face appears for the date then when I change the currency the smiley face changes to Update or Reinstall. The background around where the user enters the current amount doesn’t display. I am running WP 2.5.1.
Cheers
Tim

Sorry for the troubles you had with my widget.
I have tweaked the backend. Now, it should work without any modification on your end.
As for the background not showing, could you tell me which browser are you using and the page where you are using the widget?

Hi Kenji,
Thank you for fixing the background the conversion is working now. The background picture still isn’t working http://www.gadgetsdirect.com.au/wp-content/plugins/yaacc/textfield_bg.gif and I think I have it in the correct place. When I activate your plugin the footer doesn’t line up with my main page. Also in IE7 your plugin looks a bit crazy. I am using this theme http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/freshy2/ The formatting is fine on the default wordpress theme but I still don’t get textfield_bg.gif displaying.
Cheers
Tim
