yazawa Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 All products have 5 Lbs added to their weight during the checkout process. Does anyone know what is causing this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi what have you got in this box? Categories/Products >> New Product >> Products Weight ( the last box at the bottom of page)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazawa Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 It doesn't matter what weight I put in to each product. 0 Lbs to whatever, OSC is adding 5 Lbs to each.

Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Hi then it is not the core osC but the USPS module so look over the file it uses and the sql has it must be h/code in some where? also try putting on this Configuration >> Product Listing >> Display Product Weight then look at Categories Product Listing in the front end and see if it is showing 5 or not if not then it is the USPS module adding it in s/cart Edited September 6, 2008 by West One Hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does show the correct weight on the site. Which files and in which folders are for the USPS module that I should be looking at? Sorry, I'm a noob at this. Thanks.

♥geoffreywalton Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Might be more useful to look at the tare wt setting in Configuration >> Shipping / Packaging West One, have I spotted a bit of hypocrisy or was it that the other guy wanted to charge for passing on free advice? http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...0&p=1303175 Boy, am I going to have egg on my face if this is not it.

yazawa Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Might be more useful to look at the tare wt setting in Configuration >> Shipping / Packaging It was the setting TARE weight that added 5 lbs. Set that to 0, now it is only adding .01 lbs. This is still a problem, though. I have items that have to be shipped by freight, and I put that as individual product options. I need USPS to ignore 0 weight products. What do I need to do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look in the database using phpmyadmin and see what the tare wt is in the configuration table. Then check what wt is held against each product or use the display product wt idea from West One. Is either of these 0.01? No? Then go to \includes\modules\shipping\usps.php // usps doesnt accept zero weight $shipping_weight = ($shipping_weight < 0.1 ? 0.1 : $shipping_weight); $shipping_pounds = floor ($shipping_weight); Quote Need help installing add ons/contributions, cleaning a hacked site or a bespoke development, check my profile Virus Threat Scanner My Contributions Basic install answers.

Yes, it appears that he has stumbled across OScomerce and realised if was free, without any knowledge or reading up on it, started paid work on it. I am, personally, getting fed up with people who are happy to charge people for work without even having a basic knowledge of OS to support that client. No you haven't got egg on your face and I obviously wasn't charging him for free advise, I mearly pointed him to the documentation which he appeared not to like, not only did he post in the way he did but also posted a very rude pm to me !

Never dealt with online databases. Where do I find phpmyadmin and how do I use it? Is there an access in OSC that I'm missing? Do you have a link to West One's idea for product wt display that you referred to? Lastly, not sure what you wanted me to do with the code you listed above. Found the file and code easily enough. Do I need to change it somehow? Strange that OSC opens the shipping module with a 0 weight product. How come it doesn't do this to downloaded files? Thanks.

Hi 1) "Where do I find phpmyadmin and how do I use it?" it will be in you hosting panel on the server. do you have cPanel? if so look under DATABASES >> phpmyadmin >> got to you osC database then configuration table. then follow geoffreywalton post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I posted was a logical investigation of the problem. You can skip to the last step, see above, but by going into the db tables you will see what is stored there which will make it easier to understand osc. Now you only problem is to identify the line to comment out and how to make a line a comment. (Mean aren't I) Just had a thought, how can you ship zero wt items by usps?

Now you only problem is to identify the line to comment out and how to make a line a comment. (Mean aren't I) Just had a thought, how can you ship zero wt items by usps? OK, my problem just keeps getting more complicated. Went directly to my hosting company control panel and used their mysqladmin to try and look at the database. The problem is, it lists three of them, none of which has anything in them. Can't even find the working one (I know it's there, because OSC would not be working, otherwise.) And as far as I know, I don't have cPanel. I know enough PHP to know how to comment out, so you're not that mean. :-) As for shipping zero with usps, I'm not. The zero weight products need to be shipped flat-rate freight. Since flat rate options in shipping are not set up for my needs, I put the shipping charge in a product attribute, instead. I DO NOT want usps shipping to even come up as an option for these products, but they do anyway. I'll try commenting out the .01 line and see what happens. I'll let you know if that works.

♥geoffreywalton Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 So what you are really saying is that you want to charge delivery on certain product on a per item basis and then add the wt of all the other products together and charge those by wt bands. Your best bet is to search the contributions.

Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) HI Can you give a e.g list of say 5-10 items and what you what to charge for del? also have a look at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1333 Edited September 6, 2008 by West One Hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazawa Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 HI Can you give a e.g list of say 5-10 items and what you what to charge for del? Hi. Not sure what you are asking, here. To clarify what I need, I carry small items that will be shipped via USPS, and I also carry large items (Table Tennis Tables as an example) that require freight. I put the price of freight shipping into the items themselves using product attributes. I need these freight shipped products to NOT include any other shipping charges. I've posted a new thread asking specifically about how to do this. Thread here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 You will not get as much of a mix on shipping as you are looking for. so give up trying and just use Individual Product Shipping Prices - v1.0 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
