Shipping Weights NOT compounded correctly

[jnspire]

My site crashed strangely... it may have been hacked.

I was able to get a BRAND NEW install (of the latest version) up.

Then, I imported the database from the older version (I know it was a no-no ) to the new mysql database.

And to my ecstatic joy everything worked out pretty good.

I have one minor issue (i hope minor).

When I try to calculate shipping, it only shows the shipping price for one of each item. It does NOT compound (add) the weight for multiples of the same item and still shows the shipping cost for only one item.

extra info: upgraded from (i think) 1.3.9a
and now have current version (h) installed.
This issue is in the USPS module.

I appreciate any tips, tricks, thoughts, or constructive advice or criticism! :)

check if the qty was multiplied by the weight

search "weight" using your editor, you may find it

are you a coder?

Check that the Product you are testing with has weight ...

On your store a lot of your products have no weight to them ...

Thanks Ajeh! :)

I DID in fact have shipping weights on everything before I transfered the Database over. But, I think that a line in my table got dropped off or something and I lost my weight settings. But thats an easy fix!

That was something simple that I overlooked.

Thanks again. Ill pay closer attention and do more problem solving on my own before I post next time. thanks.

I really appreciate it! :)

SOLVED!

Thanks for the update that things are working now ...

I am having another issue that may be due to the same scenario...

I could start another thread; but, all of the information is already here.

Anytime that I go to a product in the admin panel to edit it the product name goes blank... any idea why this might be happening?

If I add a title it goes into the database because it will read on the pages... but it doesn't output to the edit page of each product in the admin panel. Not really sure whats up with that. and I dont want to have to keep adding the product name every time that I make an edit.

Does post #6 relate to this issue?

I am looking through the list and will keep you posted.

I found a post referring to a fix they found for this issue.
And apparently they fixed it by upgrading their php version. Not sure...


They did not reference the post that they said they saw. I have been looking for it or any info on upgrading php version.

Thanks again, again Ajeh!

As always your help is spot on :)

Just so that anyone needing this knows, this is how I fixed this issue.

The link above was correct and my server was using an old 4.(whatever) version of php.
So I created an .htaccess file that essentially forced zen cart to use php 5 on my server.

I uploaded the file into the top zen cart folder so all of the subfolders automatically use php 5.

there was only one line in the .htaccess file that I created:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

It might be different on your server or your host may not have upgraded all accounts to use php 5 yet.

I am using 1and1 (JSYK)
