Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Damir Sanatullin. I am a representative of a company that is developing new shopping carts, in particular for CS-Cart.
At the moment, our main business is selling ready-to-use add-on modules. In the future, we’ll be able to present a full range of services from technical support and various kinds of modifications necessary to clients to improvements in usability.

Our company will develop and publish on this forum a number of free add-ons for the CS-Cart platform, so that you can see the quality of our products for yourself.

So, I’d like to introduce the thread to our add-on, "Total weight of order".

With this add-on will be the calculation of the total weight of products in orders. The weight of the goods will be displayed on a detailed order page (please have a look at the screenshot "order_details.png" in the attachments) and on the invoice page (please have a look at the screenshot "invoice.png" in the attachments).

If you have any comments or suggestions we are always open to dialogue. We will publish and open access to our website soon.

Thank you.

Best regards, Damir Sanatullin.

We ship lightweight items. a few oz to 5 lbs So the weight of packaging can make a big difference. If there a place that we can add a default added weight for packaging?





Thanks,

Dave

Your question is not clear for me. As far as I understood you need to weight the packaging. Packaging weight will be added to product weight.

If this is the case, as far as I know there is no opportunity to weight the packaging in a default functionality of CS-Cart.

i have tried it,works vrey good,thank you Damir

anykeeper[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif], you’re welcome. Thank you for your feedback. It’s very important for us to know your opinions about our products. Thanks to your reviews we will change for the better.[/font][/color]

Dear friends, we have great news for you. We adapted the add-on “Total weight of order” for the branch CS-Cart 4.0.x. You can download a setup archive using the link below:

http://webshopaddons…t-of-order.html



Also added new function. Please have a look at the screenshots “Cart contents” and “Order summary” in the attachments.



Please note. If a unstandard skin that is located in a different directory from “basic” is used in your store so for installing the module correctly you have to fix a standard error CS-Cart 4.0.1 which is described in the topic from the link below:

CS-Cart 4.0.1 installation bug add-on in the "mail" directories - Issues & Troubleshooting - CS-Cart Community Forums

Whats nice about this add on is the weight is displayed on the packing slip. This will make it easier on our shipping department.

Great add on, Thanks again.

Dear friends, we have great news for you.



New version: [v.1.1.0] Total weight of order for CS-Cart version 4.0.x.



Release Notes.

[!] Sometimes total weight could be shown wrong on the cart contents page. Fixed.

[*] Now total weight is hidden if it is equal to 0.

Note. There was a problem: the orders which have been placed before add-on’s installation showed zero total weight.

[+] Now total weight has been added to the packing slip.

Note. The add-on works correctly even if order is sent by several parts.

[~] For the convenience to the description of the add-on there was added the quick link to the site where you can get an actual version of the add-on.

Yes, that is exactly the problem. If you have a 50g product and a 200g envelope, you need to specify 250g product weight. If someone buys four of these, the total is 1000g, when it should be 4 x 50g = 200g + 200g for the envelope.



The shipping calculation just needs to add a fixed, user-configurable percentage to the weight before applying shipping rates. Seems very easy, not sure why it is not implemented in default functionality.

Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately, at present our team is busy with other tasks. Moreover we've planned one more features for this add-on. This is why in near time we can't perform the changes you've described.



P.S. Your idea is very good, this is why in future (approximately in 2-3 months) we will again raise a question about addition this functionality in our add-on.



P.P.S. We can develop this functionality right now in our custom development service. If you are interested in this offer, please, write to us in the form contact us.
