Question about product weight

[shabizon]

Hello I downloaded shipping addons per weight like this 1:2.5 == shipping cost is $2.50 per kilogram

but Where I can choose the weight of my products? I don't know

Aaron,

 

During the product creation process in admin, you were given a field to enter the product weight. Ensure your products have a weight entered. (the last field on the product page)

Hi thanks for your reply but Unfortunately I Don't have Weight Field.

Do you know what is the Problem?

Aaron,

 

A standard osCommerce installation has a field for weight on every product. If you are using a purchased template, the template creator MAY have removed it, but it is unlikely. I have never seen a site without the weight field.

So how Can I add the weight field back again?

I am sure there is a way on the codes

Aaron,

 

In categories.php you will need to ensure these lines are present:

 

222: 'products_weight' => (float)tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_weight']),

369: 'products_weight' => '',

586: <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_WEIGHT; ?></td>

587: <td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '24', '15') . ' ' . tep_draw_input_field('products_weight', $pInfo->products_weight); ?></td>

 

 

ofcourse all of your product queries will require ,products_weight in the query as well.

 

 

THEN, you will have to check the product_into.php file to make sure the weight is included there.

Yes I have those lines in the Categories.php.

 

But in under configuration tab I clicked on product listing and The weight is 0.

 

what is the problem?

This maybe a silly question but I have not been able to find an answer by searching

 

The weight field when you enter a product what is the value meaning is 1kg entered as 1 or as 1000 same as 500 grams is it entered as 500, .5 or .500

Same with 50grams is it 50, .050 or .50

5 grams would it be 5, .005 or .05

 

Thanks for assistance with this, I hope it's not too much of a dumb question

During a test run I entered "0.5" in the field you speak of in Admin (and I am using LBS in version 2.3.1), but Fed Ex returned a value of 3.5 lbs, not 0.5 when I tried to checkout...and it only gave me one shipping option, overnight (1-day) not several options. According to FedEx my account is set up to take multiple shipment types/options.
