Hi!

I really like the function of My humidor! It's excellent! Since I live on the Euro zone, I'd like to price my cigs in euros instead of dollars. Would it even be technically possible to code the "Add cigar"-page such way that you could choose/name the currency you use in it?

It might be easier if you just moved out of the Euro zone into the dollar zone.

You could just ignore the unit of measure (pretend that the dollar signs are euro signs)

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

Yes Jackal. That´s what I will do... I just want to share help how to make forum more international...

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I am not sure how many people look at prices paid, when browsing other members humidors. But it may be helpful (for price comparison) to be able to mention somewhere that € is the default for a certain humidor.
Maybe a description field (publicly readable obviously) for each humidor can be made available?

PS. Yes, I live in the Euro-zone  :angel:
PPS. No, atm I am not planning on moving from said zone to the dollar-zone :blech:

You should send a PM to SenorPablo - it is going to require some code to be written.

And what's up with the  :blech: ?  You don't like 'Mericans?

I do not live in either the euro or dollar zone, so I want support for Norwegian Crown! Well, I'll manage, if I buy something in another currency I simply make a rough calculation to 'Murica money. Google will even allow you to do the calculations directly on the search page.

How about just adding the Euro price in comment section...sounds like an easy solution

Au contraire, I would love to move across the pond (to your side I mean). The job/financial uncertainty as well as the impact it will have on myself, friends and family inhibits me to do so.

Not really, (for the Euro-zonians that is), since I want to be able to easily add prices and don't want to recalculate everything. Also I don't really need the exact amount, but more of a price indication. Comparison is skewed when a smoke seems 1.36 times the actual Euro-price (or vice versa ofcourse). Just a quick general note saying whether a humidor is maintained using mostly Euro or USD prices will suffice for a decent (enough) comparison.

I don't think the humidor name shows when viewing other members' humidors? I could be mistaken though.

Admittedly, the site does not do a good job of localization for people outside the US.  I have been looking at fixing that and the price/currency is the first.  It gets tricky though because you then need to have the ability to convert currencies for member comparisons.  Certainly doable, but a bit of work.  Nonetheless it is "on the list", which is of considerable size at this point.  :-)

That's understandable.


Thanks SenorPablo for the update!

Not to intentionally muddy the waters or anything but one other consideration is that storing the price in your local currency could severely impact the "Average Price" calculation. If you're entering Yen or Turkish dollars as US Dollar, the average price that shows up on the cigar is going to be way off.

I'm not saying that should be a consideration of yours. Use the site and the database as you need. Just a point of reference for everyone.

I think the average member price is calculated from the price entered on the reviews, not in the virtual humidor. But, I could be wrong...
