i am using zencart 1.3.8a.
i want to use the attribute "weight" field to another code,that is something like item code which includes numbers and letters.how can this done.

From the products table the products_weight field and from the products_attributes table the products_attributes_weight field are used all throughout the code and would not make an idea choice of fields to use ...

What is your ultimate goal that you are trying to accomplish?

hi,
without changing weight feild i managed to add new feild called "itemcode" under admin->attributer controller.which is a text feild(FTRTGF145).its adding to database corectly in insert and update .now i wont to display that item code in the web like attribute price......

any idea....

What is the name of the table and the field that you added?

Where are you trying to display the data that is in this field ... "in the web" is a little too vague for me ...

ajah,
table: product attributes
feild:add a new feild call item_code

like attribute prce and weight,it shoud disply
eg:
plz choose the metress
* double layer mettress($253)(itemcode).
*thrible layer ($350)(itemcode)
item code should be there.
i have tried to use weight feild without doing any changes ,just type item code inthe weight.but it wont display on the web until it starts with numeric.if i typed something like GHFH123 it will saved in the data base but not showing up.if i type the code 1FGHDGH132 it will shown up.by doing substr(1fgdhgfh12) its possible to display the correct code in the web.but the database and enetering value carrying numeric in front......

any idea
thanks for the quick responce.

Change in the file:
/includes/modules/attributes.php

around line 164 to read:

                    $products_options_display_price .= $price_onetime;
                    $products_options_display_price .= $products_options->fields['item_code'];
