Hello all, was wondering if anybody could help...

I have products showing in kg, g, lb, oz.

With thanks to http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 27#p484527 I have managed to get the weight showing on my product page but it shows me the id from the database. I have tried many guesses but it throws white pages or fatal/illegal errors.

I know I am doing it wrong but I'm not sure where. Here's my code:

File: catalog/controller/product/product.php
I added:

Code: Select all

$data['weight_class_id'] = $product_info['weight_class_id'];

File: catalog/view/theme/default/template/product
I added:

Code: Select all

<li><span data-toggle="tooltip" title="Product weights are estimated">Weight: </span> <?php echo round($weight, 3); ?> <?php echo $weight_class_id; ?></li>

The weight is correct:
Product 1 shows 10.5 but instead of kg it shows as 10.5 1
Product 2 shows 160 but instead of grams it shows 160 2

I know these are the id in the database table but I can't figure out how to change it to show the unit as 10.5kg or 160g.

Can anyone help with this please?

Did not verify but something like that:
File: catalog/controller/product/product.php

Code: Select all

$data['weight_with_caption']  = $this->weight->format($product_info['weight'], $product_info['weight_class_id']);

And output within template file

Code: Select all

<?php echo $weight_with_caption; ?>

My friend you are fantastic, thanks so much for this, it works

Now I need to work out how to add dimensions

I made an OCMOD with the help of this thread. This will display weight on all product pages, including in search list.

Code: Select all

			<add position="replace"><![CDATA[return number_format($value, 0, $decimal_point, $thousand_point) . $this->weights[$weight_class_id]['unit'];]]></add>
