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

Re: Weights

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 :no:

Re: Weights

Fixed the pricing issue!!

It was steering me in the face :oops: :blush:

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.......

Re: Weights

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 :blink:

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

Re: Weights

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 ??

Re: Weights

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

Re: Weights

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.
