Seller Dashboard All Currencies Filter Does Not Work

[DarkKnights22]

This is what it shows for me when I click the All currencies button.

If I click on the GBP or USD button, it shows my revenue perfectly fine, just the All button that gives the problem.

I assume this was a deliberate choice so that currency conversation doesn't need to be factored in (since the totals for each currency would need to be converted to a single common one, and then summed; otherwise you won't get an accurate value).

For me, the same issue arises here as with the suggestion to allow different currencies (other than USD) to be entered in the transaction amount when adding feedback to a user's account.

For these resource statistics to be accurate when accounting for all currencies, you would need to store the conversation rate for that currency at the time of purchase.

If we simply used the current conversation rate, you wouldn't get an accurate representation of what that transaction value was truly worth, as we know exchange rates can be extremely volatile (for example, Brexit).

So then what is the point of the All button?

My assumption is to primarily show the total number of sales - the other statistics being non-applicable due to what I've mentioned.

This is most definitely intentional, due to the message above the boxes in your screenshot, which I initially missed. It's just not a bug per se, but a development choice by the addon author.

I'm sure we could at least explore the idea of a workaround to this, though.

Okay, yeah that makes sense. Would be good if we could input a rate and then it works it out for us[DOUBLEPOST=1572386135][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, is there a way to see a total number of downloads for every resource we have? I don't think there is, but enlighten me please

That's plausible, and would be easier for us to implement. Though, you still run into the issue of inaccurate totals, due to the fluctuations in conversion rates.

Also, is there a way to see a total number of downloads for every resource we have? I don't think there is, but enlighten me please

There's not a way to see the total number of downloads for all of your resources, no.

Indeed.

At the moment we aren't wanting to custom develop any new additions to our XF1 site while we continue development for our XF2 migration.

I'll move this to the bug report archives, thank you
