But I had to put the first code somewhere else since there was no plugins/hikashopshipping/usps/usps_configuration.php file. I put it at line 139 in the administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/plugins/tmpl/form.php file and surrounded it with table tags. Code: <td class="key"> Add weight: </td> <td> <input size="5" type="text" name="data[shipping][shipping_params][weight_approximation]" value="<?php echo @$this->element->shipping_params->weight_approximation; ?>" /> </td> </tr> [ ![hb67b780.png](/forum/attachment/16790) ](/forum/attachment/16790 "hb67b780.png") Should there be a usps_configuration.php file? Will this cause other problems by putting it in the form.php file and should I put it somewhere else? I think this would be a great feature that a lot of people would love to have as part of the core. Thank you for your help and quick reply. I love Hikashop with all of its features and customizations. - [ ![hb67b780.png](/forum/attachment/16790) ](/forum/attachment/16790 "hb67b780.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/16790?download=1 "hb67b780.png") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvODY3NTU0LWFkZC1wYWNrYWdlLXdlaWdodC10by11c3BzLXNoaXBwaW5nP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86363 - Thank you received: 14296 - - 12 years 6 months ago [\#152906](#152906) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Add Package Weight to USPS Shipping](/forum/28-shipping-methods/867554-add-package-weight-to-usps-shipping#152906 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.0 -- Joomla version -- : 2.5.19 -- PHP version -- : 5.4 Is there any way to add a package weight to the USPS shipping plugin in in the same way that you can add an extra price in the shipping method?

In that case, your modification is fine but you should instead do it via the menu display->views. That way, you won't loose it when you update HikaShop and you'll just have to add back the modification in the usps.php file.

The forum does not appreciate brackets as text ; that's why we more than recommend to put code under the code tags.

First thing I see the field that you were adding to the form is already in this version but as "Weight approximation (%)" field, under Specific Configuration. I tried changing the field name to weight_add in both the form field and the usps.php file. No luck. Did the field need to be declared somewhere? I saw another spot in the usps.php file where you added the product weight + product weight * weight_approximation. Tried adding in my weight_add field with out luck.

Add these lines : Code: if (!empty($rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation_fixed)) { if (isset($product->product_weight)) $product->product_weight = round($product->product_weight + (float)$rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation_fixed, 2); if (isset($product->product_weight_orig)) $product->product_weight_orig = round($product->product_weight_orig + (float)$rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation_fixed, 2); } just after these lines : Code: if (!empty($rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation)) { if (isset($product->product_weight)) $product->product_weight = $product->product_weight + $product->product_weight * $rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation / 100; if (isset($product->product_weight_orig)) $product->product_weight_orig = $product->product_weight_orig + $product->product_weight_orig * $rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation / 100; } 3. Add these lines : Code: if (!empty($rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation_fixed)) { if (isset($variant->product_weight)) $variant->product_weight = round($variant->product_weight + (float)$rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation_fixed, 2); if (isset($variant->product_weight_orig)) $variant->product_weight_orig = round($variant->product_weight_orig + (float)$rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation_fixed, 2); } After these lines : Code: if (!empty($rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation)) { if (isset($variant->product_weight)) $variant->product_weight = $variant->product_weight + $variant->product_weight * $rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation / 100; if (isset($variant->product_weight_orig)) $variant->product_weight_orig = $variant->product_weight_orig + $variant->product_weight_orig * $rate->shipping_params->weight_approximation / 100; } And you'll have a new "Weight approximation" option which will add a fixed amount to the weight of your products and not a percentage.
