Activating postal price if weight=0

Hi,

 

I have just loaded a shops with over 2000 different articles with a weight = to 0. So basicaly me postage comes up as beeing 0 and is skipped in the buying process for the customer. And I would like people to pay postage ;-)

 

Is there a simple way of configuring oscommerce so it charges postage whatever the weight of the article even if no weight was specified.

 

If not, what is the easiest way of updating all 200 + products weight information to something else than 0, say 10 for example?

 

Thanx in advance for your help.

All the Best

 

Matthew.

Well the easiset way to update them, if to do it in the database and just write a quick SQL statement to do it for you.

 

If you don't know SQL then you could do it manually by browsingt he file, selecting ALl records for Edit and then quickly pasting "10" into the weight field. Although if you are in France 10 might mean 10kg so you mihgt want to set it all to something lighter1

 

The other thing could be using a flatrate shipping fee. But that will ignore the total weight.

 

So the best of both is to change the program that does the shipping and if the weight is zero make it add "10" to the total.

 

Truly the best way for this to work is to do the hard work and enter the correct weights!
