Custom Fields For All: Weights Not Counted in weights_countries shipment

[toad78]

Joomla 2.5.x
Virtuemart 2.6.x

On this site I'm using Advanced Custom Fields for All by Break Designs (custom-fields-for-all.JPG) to set up the extra weights for products. I'm using VM's weights_countries shipping plugin to set up different flat rates based upon weight limits (0-5lb.JPG, 5-10lb.JPG, 10-50lb.JPG). After adding a 25lb. product ($50 flat rate shipping), the incorrect flat rate shipping is applied. It results back to the 1lb. flat rate shipping price of $10. Any reason why the correct flat rate shipping is not applying based upon the weight? The Custom Field is set as a Cart Attribute and as a Price Variant.

turn on vmdebug   and see what the weight is

VM Debug is on.

I do not see how a 3rd party custom field that u simply label "weight" could have any effect on the shipping plugin
the plugin looks for the vm product weight .. a distinct value

how would it know to look for some other arbitrary value?  you would need to code in the weight plug to look for your new custom field

[toad78]

And how would I do that?

by recoding the weight plugin to look for your specific custom field (if this is possible) and use that for its weight conditions
