Shipping by Weight
I have been trying to configure a shopping cart to charge for shipping by weight. I thought this would be fairly simple considering that weight and dimensions are allready available in the product, but I am running in to problems figuring this out.
Basically the ideas I have tried involve bringing the Item Weight into the shopping cart from the table COM_SKU and then doing a mulitiplier with the Item Count and Item Weight for each item and add them up for the Shipping Total.
I tried doing this by just creating a new shopping cart steps, but I can't make the data available so I assume now that I will have to try a custom provider to bring the right data in. My problem is I cannot really determine which is the best provider to customize for this. I am thinking either the OrderInfoProvider or ther OrderItemInfoProvider.
Has anyone else out there had any luck with this particular modification?
