how to calucalate weight basedon the number of letters entered?

[staft]

My ideal situation is this (each letter has a weight of .5):
A - .5
AA - 1.0
Zen Cart - 3.5

My current situation is this:
A - .5
AA - .5
Zen Cart - .5

Does that make sense? When someone buys a name, letters cannot set up as a multiplier for weight, but it can be setup for pricing.

My cart doesn't show the weight anywhere so it wouldn't help to see it.

Thanks,
Sean

This would have to be customized to base the weight on the number of letters in an attribute ...

The function zen_get_letters_count can count the number of letters passed to it ...

You might be able to use that to help count the letters to compute the weight total for an attribute of text ...

This function will calculate a "price" from a string of text:
zen_get_letters_count_price

You might look at those two functions in the functions_prices.php and see if you can utilize those for what you need ...
