    Default Lbs to Grams?

    Hi everyone! Thanks for all the help youve given me these few days.
    My cart is all ready to be shown to the public today! I only have one other bug I can't figure out.

    I typed in all my weights in grams. But it says "lbs" everywhere! How can I change this lbs to grams? I also searched for "lb" in the Developer's Kit and found one page where I changed lb(s) to g., but it didnt do a dang thing. Help!

    includes\languages\english.php

    Line 393: define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','lbs');
    Line 396: define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','lbs');

    You might also want to change it in the admin:

    admin\includes\languages\english.php
    Line 570: define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','lbs');

    Just be aware that some of the European oriented shipping modules assume that the weight is in kilograms, which leads to some eye-watering shipping charges when they assume 300g is 300kg.

    Please be aware that if you change includes\languages\english.php, your changes will be lost with the next upgrade/update. You should save the changes to includes\languages\YOUR_TEMPATE\english.php.

    As for the admin files, there is no override currently, but that doesn't stop you from creating the folders/files for future reference.
