IOS eShop - Weight issue

[rentasite]

Hi, im developing a site with the use of IOS eShop, related to Bijoux & Accessories. But we have an issue with the product's weight.

I insert: 0.065 Kgr for a product's weight... and automatically it's been rounded to 0.07 Kgr.

Question
- How can i make it, to show exactly the weight i insert. Cause... 0.065 of gold does not surely cost the same as 0.07Kgr.

The function that you have to search and change is the "number_format" read more: http://php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php

I'll say it in Greek: my issue is... Στρογγυλοποίηση

Yes

Let's make it more easier... Another solution could be, if that K from Kgr ...can be deleted (?)

language file

[ks-net]

this is the shipping weight of the packaged product rather than the actual product weight

it is used to calculate shipping cost etc! thats why it rounds the value...

yes need to modify the language files to makes this clear to customers...
change for example  "weight" to "shipping-weight"...

and write inside the description the ounces(gold is calculated in ounces)

Suggestion for next release:
this field is just kgr  but must have options for other country such us lbs or oz
not all countrys uses kgr

I know that Kostas, but Spiros will use the weight as status of the product, in julery the weight of x is related to cost.

Am I right Spiro?

[ks-net]

Yes i know that you know..

i had the same problem as Spiros

customers confuses with this "weight" which is "shipping weight"

suggestion for next release to have 2 parameters for every product:
product-clear-contents =  kg,gr,oz,ft,inch,cm,mm,lt  etc...
shipping-weight or packaged-weight  = kg,gr,oz etc...

[ks-net]

Idea....

1- modify lang-files and change "weight" to "packaged-weight"  or hide weight from e-shop configuration-page
2- add an other addon-characteristic in the product type ... the "product-weight" and write what ever you want!

this will work like a charm .... ;)eee?

I thing that is not necesary.

It is logical that the shiping cost is calculate based on the total weight of all the products.
And the weight is the weight of each product.

Spyros need to have 3 decimals on the weight because the products has weight LOWER than 1.
So I come back at my first answer, I thing is the most correct and officiant & not confusing for the eshop owner.

Spiros if you need help in the code part, do not hesitate to contact me any time.

It is logical that the shiping cost is calculate based on the total weight of all the products.
And the weight is the weight of each product.

thats not correct... shipping weight is always higher than the product weight
and much higher than the actual  content weight ...


if you have added the clear product  content weight(notice not always weight but lt,ml,oz etc) ... then you will have a  wrong shipping-cost calculation
if you add the packaged-weight then you will confuse customers....   

thats why many eshops uses two fields there... packaged-weight and product-weight(or product contents lt,ml,oz,ft,cm,mm)

Based on Kosta's answer...

this is the shipping weight of the packaged product rather than the actual product weight

I think that a solution is: to modify lang-files and change "weight" to "packaged-weight".  As for the golden accessories, the true weight (ounces) can be mentioned in the description. OK with this...

But how about the "Στρογγυλοποίηση"?? (can't find an English word ).

 Ok i'll ask Datahell about the rounding issue.

Thanks!
