How to edit NUMBER FORMAT for weight? Opencart 3.0.2.0

Hello,
I've added the weight for each product in ounces to the product page. I'm SO close! Can anyone tell me how to change the number format to 2? I've tried a variety of things but it's not working so I'm admitting defeat and asking for help :)

Added

Code: Select all

$data['weight'] = $product_info['weight'];
to catalog/controller/product/product.php
Added

Code: Select all

<li>{{ weight }} oz.</li>
to product/product in theme editor
Resulted in showing 4.600000 oz. (or weight for that product) which is exactly what I want, just with fewer decimal points.

Thanks! Tina

ALSO - same topic but different location. I would also like to add the weight to the grid/list view of products

Well, it will not work in OC-2+3, as it comes, but it gives you a good inside Look,
where things have to be added, to make some weight-code work. I just walked over it
tonight by accident in my Archive, and so, it might at least be of use for
someone else too ... :D

You have to understand that every template has a corresponding controller.

Change the use number_format($your_weight, 2) in there and it should do it.

Once tested and working, you should move this to a vQmod or OCMOD.

You can also refer to this TWIG documentation to edit your number format directly into your TWIG files: https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/filter ... ormat.html
