How to display product weight

[kathynewman]

Is there anyway of getting the product weight (as held in the OpaqueShippingData field in the database) to display in a product record? Or a way of copying the data that is that field into a Custom Variable so I can display that?

All my products have a weight (for shipping purposes - though at moment I don't use weight based shipping) and I now need to show these for each product.

TIA

Use <actinic:variable name="ShippingWeight" /> as I found by searching the Variable Reference Guide (off the Help menu) for "weight".

If you want to do a quick test, then just put [ShippingWeight] into a product description.

Norman - doh - now why didn't I think of that variable - think I tried almost every other one that I though might contain a weight but not that one! works perfectly - THANK YOU!

PS: Duncan - am sure I saw a reply from you earlier as well but not there now - but thanks anyway!

If you are trying to display the product weight on the product page this thread may be useful if you want weights displayed in grams rather than kg:http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=32596
