Is there a default shipping weight ?

[nigelt]

Hi Folks
Got a slight problem.
I've got a habit of adding new products and forgetting to put a weight for the product.
Consequently if an item weighs 1700grams customers are getting it shipped for the 100g postage rate (using rate table).

Is there a default somewhere I can enter, so that if the weight is zero then it will charge a money amount or will default to 500grams or similar.
I know its my problem and i should remember to put the weight in, but the old memory isnt what it was... if it ever was..I cant remember now haha.

Thanks in advance
Nige

/admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php
near the top of the file, you'll see a section like this:

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
  die('Illegal Access');
}
    $parameters = array('products_name' => '',
                       'products_description' => '',
                       'products_url' => '',
                       'products_id' => '',
                       'products_quantity' => '',
                       'products_model' => '',
                       'products_image' => '',
                       'products_price' => '',
                       'products_virtual' => DEFAULT_PRODUCT_PRODUCTS_VIRTUAL,
                       'products_weight' => '',
                       'products_date_added' => '',
                       'products_last_modified' => '',

note the line that says:

           'products_weight' => '',

inside the quotes on that line, enter whatever you would normally enter as a default value for weight. So, if you're entering 500 for 500 grams, make it say:

           'products_weight' => '500',

or if 500 grams is really 0.5, make it:

           'products_weight' => '0.5',
