Hello mohit11,

I do not know for the cart, but I do for the product page.
Open /template/product/product.tpl

Find

Code: Select all

<tr>
                <td><b><?php echo $text_model; ?></b></td>
                <td><?php echo $model; ?></td>
              </tr>

And add just after or before) :

Code: Select all

<tr> 
                <td><b><?php echo $text_weight; ?></b></td> // declare it in both language and controller folders to display "Weight" on the page
                <td><?php echo $product_info['weight'] ;?></td>
              </tr>

Hope it helps!

well, it should ^^
see on my store (with $product_info['length'], $product_info['width'], $product_info['height'] called exactly as $product_info['weight'] : http://candesco.be/oc/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=33

did you get an error message ?

Hi,

This is my cat-view-theme-temp-prod-prod.tpl

<tr>

<td><?php echo $text_model; ?></td>

<td><?php echo $model; ?></td>

<tr>
<td><?php echo $text_weight; ?></td> // declare it in both language and controller folders to display "Weight" on the page
<td><?php echo $product_info['weight'] ;?></td>
</tr>

<?php if ($manufacturer) { ?>

<tr>

and this is the error i get on my website- weight unit shows properly

you get this error because you forgot to declare $text_weight

To do so, open /catalog/language/english/product/product.php

Find

Code: Select all

$_['text_model']          = 'Model :';

Add just after :

Code: Select all

$_['text_weight']          = 'Weight :';

If you have other languages on your website, you have to do the same for each of them (e.g. if you have Dutch; then edit the /catalog/language/dutch/product/product.php)

Then, open /catalog/controller/product/product.php

Find

Code: Select all

$this->data['text_model'] = $this->language->get('text_model');

Add just after :

Code: Select all

$this->data['text_weight'] = $this->language->get('text_weight');

The error should now disappear

ps: you can delete the

Code: Select all

// declare it in both language and controller folders to display "Weight" on the page

Thanks a lot.
works perfectly

Is there any way to show the weight unit as well?

The weight unit kgs is displaying on your web site.

Of course

open ....../template/product/product.tpl

Change this

Code: Select all

<tr> 
                <td><b><?php echo $text_weight; ?></b></td>
                <td><?php echo $product_info['weight'] ;?></td>
              </tr>

by this

Code: Select all

<tr> 
                <td><b><?php echo $text_weight; ?></b></td>
                <td><?php echo $product_info['weight'] . 'kgs' ;?></td>
              </tr>

Just a quick note: this won't actually use the weight_unit for the product, it'll just use "kg" for everything. The only way to get the weight_unit is doing something like I suggested in this post.

Thank you Candesco ,

it works

Weight: 0.20kg

Now how dd you get the space betwwen the weight amount and weight unit or kgs

0.20 kg ?

Regards
Mohit

Jonathan I am using only kg unit so this is prefect for me ,thanks.

Just add

Code: Select all

&nbsp;

before kgs.

Your code will then look like :

<tr>
<td><?php echo $text_weight; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $product_info['weight'] . ' kgs' ;?></td>
</tr>

One   equals one space. You can add more if you want.
