Re: Saudi Riyal exchange rate is not updating

Maybe you should change the exchange provider from ECB to either YAHOO or GOOGLE.

You do that by changing in config.php file down near the end.

$xr_providers = array("ECB", "YAHOO", "GOOGLE", "BLOOMBERG");
$dflt_xr_provider = 0;
CHange this from 0 to either 1 or 2.
