Australia Post Shipping

[laurie_lewis]

Hi,

 

I am trying to do a variation on the Australia Post Shipping contribution so that it is not displayed when it exceeds their maximum weight (20KGs) as I can not split into various sized packages.

 

I am doing this with a simple if statement:-

// ONLY SHOWN IF LESS OR EQUAL TO MAX WEIGHT

if ($total_weight <= MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSPOST_MAX_WEIGHT) {

 

The variable for the maximum weight is in the configuration section of the module.

 

My confusion :-" is about two variables that could be used $total_weight or $shipping_weight.

 

$total_weight - appears to simply a sum of the weights of the goods ordered (2 X 10 = 20).

 

$shipping_weight it shows that ( 2 X 10 = 23 or 3 X 10 = 33) - It is adding 3 KGs each time. I can not find where the variable $shipping weight is defined to understand why it is doing this.

 

Can anyone point me in the correct direction or give some experienced advice in this area please.
