Shipment plugins and weight - Fail

[Rune Rasmussen]

After some testing it seems like there is a issue with the shipment plugins and weight.
Seems like the actual shipping weight is not collected in the cart, instead it outputs per product:

print_r($this->getOrderWeight($cart, 'GR')); = 10000
print_r($this->getOrderWeight($cart, 'KG')); = 10

This doesn't change whatever unit and weight you have on the products.

Hi,

Looks like you are rigth. Fixing the problem.

Hi,

No actually it is correct.

print_r($this->getOrderWeight($cart, 'GR')); = 10000
print_r($this->getOrderWeight($cart, 'KG')); = 10

10 kg=10000 grams

[Rune Rasmussen]

No it's not right.

As I wrote, this is per product/item in your cart. No matter what weight you set on them.

There is NO 10 KG product in that cart, the product can be 1 GR and still this will show. Add two products and you'll get 20000 etc.

Has anyone really got the weight shipping working in real life testing?

Hi,

Please show me a screenshot of your product, and the one from your shipment settings. I will try to see where is the problem.

Hm ... loged in to take screenshots for you, and discovered it seems fine today.

Does VirtueMart 2 do some caching on products, even if all caching is turned of i Joomla itself? Is this a setting somewhere?

Will do more testing, but seems like it's a caching issue.

Hello

The function getOrderWeight convert the weight of the product between the product weight and the unit set in the shipment.

If the product weight= 20 grams, and the shipment weight unit = Kg, then order_weigth = 0.02.

From the version 2.0.8e, we have added a functionality. Log in as admin on the front end, and you will have some infos displayed
Info: weigth_countries _weightCond orderWeight:0.02 weight_start:100 weight_stop:2000 result:0

I hope those infos can help you to better find out why no shipment is selected
