stevecas Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 As an exporter of tinned goods there is a limit to the maximum weight that can be shipped in one parcel. In my case 30kgs. Although I can disable the carrier when a shopping cart exceeds the maximum weight I cannot dispaly how much weight is in the shopping cart.Does anybody know of a plugin, addon or code change that can show the total weight in the shipping cart?CheersSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecas Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks for that - I changed the files but there is no change on the shopping cart.Did you say that this is a feature to be included in 1.4?CheersSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I don't think PrestaShop v1.4 displays the total weight in the cart. It's strange how code works when I first write it, then often doesn't work after a while. The code I wrote should add the total weight to the cart block. Did you want it added to the cart block or shopping cart summary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for this is that the parcel size for shipping abroad is limited and it would help customers to see the weight totalling in the cart block.I have switched on the max weight but all that does when a basket is too heavy just says that there are no carriers for this zone.If you have any suggestions they would be most welcome.CheersSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That option only disables the carrier when the maximum weight is exceeded, it doesn't display the total weight on the shopping cart. See this topic for how to add the total weight to the shopping cart summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsown Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I would not mind knowing a way to limit packages to no more than x weight once 30kg is reached the rest goes in the next box till its up to 30kg. Is there maybe a modual for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
