You would modify (or add a hook would be preferable) to

skins//customer/common_templates/product_data.tpl

search for $show_sku and either conditionalize or add the code you want referencing

{$product.weight} {$settings.General.weight_symbol}



I would probably do something like:


{if $product.weight)
{$lang.weight}: {$product.weight}{$settings.General.weight_symbol}
{/if}

I wasn't sure if a hook is better … Thanks for the help

What about some code for the total weight on the shipping selection page??



I use this to compare actual shipping charges.

Not sure if the total weight of the order is passed to the template since the shipping calculation is done in PHP, not Smarty. I guess you could loop through the order and compute the weight based on quantity, weight and items…

Umm, thought I'd said to search for $show_sku in skins//customer/common_templates/product_data.tpl and add the code as you want it. Short of doing it for you, that's the best I can offer from here.
