Google Currency Converter - changing the width of the pulldown currency menu

Now that Google supports a total of 93 currencies, the pulldown menu of the currencies might be too long to fit your module width.

So how do you change the width of the pulldown menu so that it can fit nicely within your module position?

The width of the pulldown currency menu

The width of the pulldown menu is determined by the length of the options.

The length of each option is indicated in the square brackets.

Note: Highlighted in yellow are those options with length greater than 25.

Changing the width of the pulldown currency menu

To change the width of the pulldown currency menu, do the following:

1. Goto the folder: <Joomla_Root_Folder>/modules/mod_googlecurrencyconverter
2. Edit the file mod_googlecurrencyconverter_libclass.php
3. Goto Line 99. You should see the following:

	$currencies = array(
		"AED" => 'United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED)',
		"ANG" => 'Netherlands Antillean Guilder (ANG)',
		"ARS" => 'Argentine Peso (ARS)',
		"AUD" => 'Australian Dollar (AUD)',
		"BDT" => 'Bangladeshi Taka (BDT)',
		"BGN" => 'Bulgarian Lev (BGN)',
		"BHD" => 'Bahraini Dinar (BHD)',
		"BND" => 'Brunei Dollar (BND)',
		"BOB" => 'Bolivian Boliviano (BOB)',
		"BRL" => 'Brazilian Real (BRL)',
		"BWP" => 'Botswanan Pula (BWP)',
		"CAD" => 'Canadian Dollar (CAD)',
		"CHF" => 'Swiss Franc (CHF)',
		"CLP" => 'Chilean Peso (CLP)',
		"CNY" => 'Chinese Yuan (CNY)',
		"COP" => 'Colombian Peso (COP)',
		"CRC" => 'Costa Rican Colon (CRC)',

4. Edit the string of the options until it fits your module width.
5. Once you saved the file, reload your Joomla page. You should be able to see the effect immediately.
