Missing Width Message in Checkout
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.6.10
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firfox 39.0
After upgrading to Hikashop 2.5.0 I get a warning message at the checkout after the product has been selected and the user has logged in saying, "The Width is missing for the product [the name of the product]." I have widths for all of my products and their variants. This message shows up for every product and I cannot figure out what it means.

Your USPS shipping method seems to be correctly working, but the error message is still displayed, did you add some code customization ? to add for example the "Weight" option through your USPS shipping method ? If that the case can you test it without any code customization ?
Thanks.

The USPS is correctly using the dimensions of your product variant, but your should correctly set each dimmensions / weight to be sure that it'll use it.

I have the same issue only from today (no changes made in the site)
Suddenly I began to have this error on check out:
"The Width is missing for the product [product name]
The Length is missing for the product [product name]
The Height is missing for the product [product name]"
If I added width, length and height in the product notifications, the error disappeared. I don't need dimensions in my products, so what can I do?
Thanks

But you can't use the USPS shipping method without your product dimensions because the USPS shipping platform will need it and can't return the rates without it.If I added width, length and height in the product notifications, the error disappeared. I don't need dimensions in my products, so what can I do?
The solution can just be to add some dimensions or directly edit the code of the USPS shipping plugin.

Add some dimensions to all products??? Everything was Ok until yesterday! What happened suddenly that I need to add dimensions?
directly edit the code of the USPS shipping plugin.
What do you mean?
Thank you

If you really want to use the USPS shipping method without dimensions you'll have to change that line :

Now it works.
Someone can explain to me why I need to do this after 2 years that the site is working?

Sure, that's because the shipping platforms are returning rates which are more precise when we add the products dimensions.Someone can explain to me why I need to do this after 2 years that the site is working?

The only reason, will be that your shipping method was working as you want with the old Hikashop shipping version, and that when you updated your hikashop version, the new dimension restriction was applied.

I think that because the last update of Hikashop, the problem is back. I tried to change the code like you told me to do but it's not changing anything. Any idea?

Mohamed is in holiday for the whole week. He'll answer you next week when he comes back as he is the on in charge of shipping plugins and knows them best than anyone else.
Thank you for your understanding.

Note however, it would be great if you could provide a screenshot of your shipping method settings, the weight/dimensions of one product which has that problem and the shipping address you used for your test.
That way, Mohamed would be able to better understand your situation without loosing time with back and forth until he is able to reproduce the problem.

I attached the dimension of the product and the shipping method settings.
Thank you

It should work with the customization that we previously added (you should test it again with the modification and with your cache cleared), you didn't attached the warning, can you do it so that I can directly check it ?
Thanks.

I tried the previous customization. I'll try again and clear my cache.
