Description of requirements/features: The Magento installation has 4 stores one for each of 4 currencies. The promotional rules for free shipping are based on a certain basket value threshold, but are calculated in the base currency of Euros. If we want to set a free shipping threshold of (say) $200, we need to calculate the value in Euros at today's currency rates. However the store's exchange rates are automatically updated daily through the webservicex built in functionality, so unless the rules are manually updated daily, the free shipping threshold drifts from $200.
One way of fixing this is programatically running a job after the daily currency update, which updates the euro value for the free shipping threshold in Euros for the relevant promotional rules, so that the new Euro value converts exactly to $200. This change would need to be applied to 3 or 4 promotional rules for regions where the free shipping threshold is expressed in a currency other than Euros. We are open to other approaches.
The store uses matrix rates shipping extension, and some customisations for tax and geodetection. There have been no edits of core - changes are done through app/code/local or via an extension.
Extra notes: This is the first project of many. Our current development partner of many years is moving on to other things, and we are seeking a replacement. Knowledge of webserver technology, APC, nginx, security, centos sysadmin are also very desirable. We run a staging environment and all new features are tested there, before being moved to the live server.
