New BB2.0 Currency Converter via Yahoo

For the past 4 years the BlueBox2.0 Currency Engine has been driven by the Google currency service. However in the past week, our method of gathering the conversion figures from Google results stopped working, due to what appears to be Google's new format of mashing various result sets on their search results page from numerous sources, making getting at the info difficult and unpredictable.

To get away from this method, and to continue to provide a reliable, free web-based source of currency values, we have implemented a Yahoo Currency service which returns a far cleaner result.

This service relies on the 3 digit currency code for each currency, and so, in order for older BB2.0 sites to use this feature their currency 'codes' will need to be updated manually. As soon as these are updated the converter will work automatically. Each time the automatic currency updates function is run from BB2.0, any currencies without a currency code will be skipped.

The codes for standard BB2.0 roll-out currencies are:
  • US Dollar = USD
  • British Pound=GBP
  • South African Rand=ZAR
  • Australian Dollar=AUD
  • New Zealand Dollar=NZD
  • Canadian Dollar=CAD
  • Euro=EUR
  • Japanese Yen=JPY
