IOS eShop - Weight issue

[ks-net]

In case you Find it useful(you or others) :

all you need i think is this...
http://www.healthwithaloe.gr/eshop/drinks-aloe-vera/1.html

look at product details at the link i posted...

this is how i solved the issue with the  product-content(weight or volume) and the packaged-weight... i think you need the same solution

i think this will be ok...

why to have the third decimal in the weight?
this weight is used to calculate shipping cost
post offices do not need 3 decimals?

you only want to show the actual net-weight of the product to customers...

use an addon-characteristic! as i did!

The product's weight is used only to calculate shipping cost under some shipping methods and not the product's cost itself. Some grams above or bellow have almost zero affect on shipping cost calculation. So 0.065 and 0.070, or even 0.100, are almost the same. The postal service will charge you the same amount for such lightweight packages. 2 decimals are enough to display such numbers. You don't need more.

For your customer's information create an extra field, like ks-net told you, and write any info you wish in there (like oz, litters, etc). You can also make this field searchable if you wish.

IOS Eshop also have the option to switch between kgr and lbs. Check out IOS Eshop configuration for this.
private $WEIGHT_UNIT = 'kgr';

Good job ks-net at healthwithaloe.gr, congratulations!

Datahell the change of "number_format" to show 3 decimals is wrong ?

[datahell]

The weight is stored in database with 2 decimals, so what if you show afterwards 3 decimals? You have already lost the 3rd decimal's precision...
