    Default Weights

    Hello

    Can you chnage the weight from Lb to KG

    Also is anyone knows when in products and you put a price in, is the dollar price you put in so the UK price (which is default) is different

    Is there a way where i can have it so when editing/creating products when i input a price its the UK one not US?

    Thank you

    Look in english.php or 'lb' and change to 'Kg'

    Make sure that in the admin > Localization > currencies > that GBP is set as default

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    I changed the string in English.php from lb to kg But still no joy

    The default currency is GBP

    in the english file i found the string
    define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

    Changed usd to GBP and still no joy

    Fixed the pricing issue!!

    It was steering me in the face

    The value under GBP was set at 0.5.... and all the values for other currencies had be calculated around USD I guess, as this was set at 1.00

    So just need the weight thing solving please.......

    More details on my problem.

    Whats happening is,

    When a product is created i insert the value in kgs, but on check out its showing a complete different number in lbs and the shipping cost is way to much

    I have Zen Cart 1.3.7 and am using the Zone Rate shipping module whcih comes with Zen Cart.

    The product i am testing this with i have inserted the weight .25 which shows up in the shop as 0.25kgs and on the shopping cart overview as 0.25kg

    In the zone rates module i have inserted this as the pricing

    .250:3.99,.500:6.99,1:8.99,2:13.99,3:18.99,4:23.99,5:28.99,6:33.99

    When you go to check out it displays the weight as 3.25lb(s) & shipping cost as£23.99

    I have now managed to change the lb(s) to kg(s) by changing the string

    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'lb(s)');

    to

    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'kg(s)');

    in the zones.php file

    But the weight is stil 3.25 where it should be .25 and the price is 23.99 where it should be 3.99 ??

    ... and use the Admin> Tools> Developers Tool Kit to find the other instances of weight.

    Thanks guys i sorted it earlier, forgot to post saying i have,

    I figured it was something adding on to the weight and found it in shipping/Packaging in the admin secton.

    Tried the devolopers toll early to find something and it couldn't find it, i found it manually in the end.

    Thanks for your help.
