weight calculator/show weight of products in cart

thanks for the reply , sorry its working now ,was a while since i changed it and realised you need to add the code in between <?php and ?>

actually is it possible to add additional weight onto the total weight shown in cart by the code above. For example the weight shown by the code above is a total weight of all the products, however I need to add the weight of the packaging onto the final weight figure used to calculate the shipping

how can i do this?

Hi again,

If the weight of your packaging is 6 for example, the code that you'll need to add will be :

$cartClass = hikashop_get('class.cart');
$cart = $cartClass->loadFullCart(true);
$final_weight = $cart->weight + 6;
echo $final_weight;

thanks for that , where do i need to place this code?

Many Thanks

Hi,

I think that you will have to add the code in the plugin file of your payment methods (plugins\hikashopshipping\methodname.php), in the function "onShippingDisplay()"
Some PHP knowledge are required.

I have this working, but my weight shows up in Kilograms instead of pounds. For instance one of my products weighs 4 pounds, but shows up as 1.81436948 KG. Is there a way to change this?

Thank You

Sorry....

I entered this text to display the weights in checkout:

echo $row->product_weight;
