how to show weight in sales backend

Hi Nikolas

how to display weight in total and per product quantity at back end?
like below pictures


and


If it is not doable, how to include total weight in email notification to administrator??
like 'new order has been created... order (number).. sub total (number)... weight (number)'

Or any other way to inform administrator the total weight of one order??

Thanks

That information is not stored in the orders.

You can always edit the view file and load the data from the product, and do the maths but it's complex if you're not a programmer.

For the order creation email, it should be simpler I think. Try to add such code in it:
Total weight: <?php echo $data->cart->weight; ?>

i think order creation email will do the job, where do i insert that code into??

In the "order creation notification" email that you can edit via the menu System->Emails in the Business edition.

how to do it in starter edition??

You can edit the file in the folder media/com_hikashop/mail but beware that unlike when you do it via the interface, you will loose your changes when you update HikaShop.

so i edited order_admin_notification.text.php file in media/com_hikashop/mail/ into something like below. i have tried Total weight: <?php echo $data->cart->weight; ?>, Total weight: $data->cart->weight;, and echo "\r\n".JText::_('CART_WEIGHT').' : '.$data->cart->weight; .. Nothing works, please help

<?php
$url = HIKASHOP_LIVE.'administrator/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=order&task=edit&order_id='.$data->order_id;
echo JText::sprintf('ORDER_STATUS_CHANGED',$data->mail_status)."\r\n".JText::sprintf('NOTIFICATION_OF_ORDER_ON_WEBSITE',$data->order_number,HIKASHOP_LIVE);
echo $data->cart->weight;
$currency = hikashop_get('class.currency');
echo "\r\n".JText::_('HIKASHOP_TOTAL').' : '.$currency->format($data->order_full_price,$data->order_currency_id);
echo "\r\n".str_replace('<br/>',"\r\n",JText::sprintf('ACCESS_ORDER_WITH_LINK',$url));
if($data->order_payment_method=='creditcard' && !empty($data->credit_card_info->cc_number)){
echo "\r\n".JText::_('CUSTOMER_PAID_WITH_CREDIT_CARD');
if(!empty($data->credit_card_info->cc_owner)){
echo "\r\n".JText::_('CREDIT_CARD_OWNER').' : '.$data->credit_card_info->cc_owner;
}
echo "\r\n".JText::_('END_OF_CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER').' : '.substr($data->credit_card_info->cc_number,;
if(!empty($data->credit_card_info->cc_CCV)){
echo "\r\n".JText::_('CARD_VALIDATION_CODE').' : '.$data->credit_card_info->cc_CCV;
}
echo "\r\n".JText::_('CREDITCARD_WARNING');
}
$fieldsClass = hikashop_get('class.field');
$fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp',$data,'order','');
foreach($fields as $fieldName => $oneExtraField) {
echo "\r\n".$fieldsClass->trans($oneExtraField->field_realname).' : '.$fieldsClass->show($oneExtraField,$data->$fieldName);
}

You should edit the html version, not the text version of the email which is rarely displayed by email clients.

i have edited the html version as well, but it is not showing either.

When i tried to insert Total weight: $data->cart->weight; or echo "\r\n".JText::_('CART_WEIGHT').' : '.$data->cart->weight; ,, the 'Total weight:' was shown, but there was no total weight for that order. so the email that admin receives is like this:

The order is now created.
Order C1A0N70
Total Weight:
Sub Total : Rp 72.000
You can access the order details directly by clicking on the link below after logging in your back end:
www.kliknshop.com/administrator/index.ph...k=edit&order_id=1070

Where did i do wrong??

Then if that doesn't work you'll have to calculate the weight yourself...
It can be done with a few lines:
$class = hikashop_get('class.product');
$weight = 0;
foreach($data->cart->products as $prod){
$info = $class->get($prod->product_id);
$weight +=$info->product_weight*$prod->order_product_quantity;
}
echo $weight;

That should be done after:
$data->cart = $class->loadFullOrder($data->order_id,true,false);

Hi
Apologies for hijacking on this thread but this is exactly what I would like to achieve as well.
I would also like to be able to show hazardous products with a combined weight/fluid volume too, is there a way of pulling this through in the same way?

Yes, it's basically the same... Just replace $info->product_weight by ($info->product_width*$info->product_length*$info->product_height)
