Assigning Unit of Measure

Hello,

I followed the directions within the FAQ located at www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/faq.html#each

I continue to get 'each' as the unit of measure, rather than the 'pound' i setup for a given product.

I did make the changes to the language area and added PER_POUND to my override area for US English as well.

AT the present time the site is not online with DNS as I'm working with the client to convert over to a new system. I can provide the site and IP address if needed in a PM to gather any assistence if needed.

I'm on Joomla! 2.5.6 and Hikashop Business 1.6.0

cheers and thanks,
Kurt

Hi,

Did you tried to edit your translation file and Override the line :

PER_UNIT=" each"

PER_UNIT=" "

I'm not sure why I would blank out PER_UNIT as you stated. I tried that and my product detail page shows a 'blank' instead of a proper unit of measure.

Edited to Add: I'm not the best PHP coder out there (yet) so I'm sure it's something I've mucked up.

Thx, Kurt

Nicolas,

Attached are screen shots and the php file as defined by the FAQ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/faq.html#each

I setup a custom field called "uom"
I edited the product / listing_price.php file and it's attached as an .rtf with my changed colored in blue
I added "PER_POUND" to my language file.

I double checked the back end SQL record and it shows the column 'uom' populated with 'PER_POUND'

I included the front end behavior shot as well to show what is occuring.

Attached are screen shots and the php file in rtf format.

Thanks again, Kurt

I will give this a try and report back the results. Again, thank you.

Kurt

Nicolas,

That fixed it perfectly. If you have time, I'd be interested in knowing why the change from the documents? Did I read something incorrectly? Again, thank you for the quick response.

Case closed as it were. Thanks for the fast good response.

Kurt
