Zero Weight Warning

Hi,

It depends on the context you're referring.

In HikaShop ; there is a message displayed when you save a product without a weight.
In HikaMarket, there is no message but that's something which can be add.

Now, it is possible to create a custom plugin for HikaShop and HIkaMarket in order to refuse the creation of a product if it does not have a weight. Or that plugin can just display a warning.

Otherwise, I can be possible with a mass action to force a product to have a weight if a user is creating a product without one.
With the product creation event and a filter on the 0 product weight ; you can set a new weight for the product.
But there is no action in the mass actions to display a message in the interface ; it could be something interesting.

I hope that my explanations will help you.

Regards,

Hi,

I let a feature request for the HikaShop team about the "user message" using a mass action.

Some store are selling virtual products, so they don't want a weight (they can also propose both kind of products).
That's why, I'm not fan of adding such kind of message directly in HikaMarket ; it could disturb some users or create confusion.
A plugin is, in some way, better because it is something you can activate/deactivate depending your needs.

public function onAfterProductCreate(&$element) {
   $app = JFactory::getApplication();
   $config = hikashop_config();
   if($app->isAdmin() || !empty($element->product_weight) || $config->get('force_shipping', 0))
      return;

   $db = JFactory::getDBO();
   $db->setQuery('SELECT shipping_id FROM '.hikashop_table('shipping').' WHERE shipping_published = 1');
   if($db->loadResult())
      $app->enqueueMessage( JText::_('SHIPPING_METHODS_WONT_DISPLAY_IF_NO_WEIGHT') );
