Estimate Shipping Costs - Lbs still showing in a kg based store

Hi all,

I've successfully modified my store to operate and display in kilograms with the exception of the Shipping Estimator.

If I click on the “Estimate Shipping” button in my basket the popup says something like “Zone Rates (Shipping to AT (5.00lb(s)))” can anyone help me find the setting I need to change?

I have used the Tools >- Developers Tool Kit to search for "lbs" and nothing comes up. Is it a value held in the db?

All help appreciated.

Re: Estimate Shipping Costs - Lbs still showing in a kg based store

Hahahaha :smile: found it :cool:

\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\zones.php and @ line 26 changed the line to:

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'kg(s)');

I'd been searching for 'lbs' and of course here it's 'lb(s)' :smartalec:

Phew, hope this helps some one else!

btw, I'm sure this should be copied to some overwrite location but I haven't worked all that out yet so I'm winging it :blush:

Re: Estimate Shipping Costs - Lbs still showing in a kg based store

Fantastic, :clap:
Thankyou, it worked. Only I am bit confused as to how :wacko:

The file
\store\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\zones.php
allready had Kg specified!

but when I created:
\store\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\custom folder and pasted a copy there it sorted the problem.

One less problem, only 10,000 to go :laugh:

Best regards,
Dave.
