Set custom total weight in WooCommerce

    The flexible shipping plugin calculates total weight by adding per product weight. Here I want to calculate the total weight for example – (weight1 + weight2)/2 and assign this weight to the Flexible shipping Plugin so that the plugin applies conditions for this weight.

    I am almost near to the solution. But I don’t know how to assign custom total weight in the plugin.

    add_filter('woocommerce_cart_contents_weight', 'custom_cart_contents_weight', 10, 1);
function custom_cart_contents_weight($weight)
{
    global $total_weight;
    $weight = $total_weight;
    return $weight;
}

    With this code, I can change the total weight for WooCommerce but your plugin doesn’t apply a condition for my calculated weight. How to solve it?

    Hi @kh4n605,

    Can you elaborate further why you need custom total weight?

    The plugin is calculating total weight based on the products in the cart.
    However, you need to create a shipping method based on weight first.

    The plugin calculates total weight by summing up all the product’s weight. But I need to figure the total weight by this calculation: heaviest product’s weight + (rest of the products weight) * 0.35 = total weight.

    I have made this calculation and got the value successfully. I want the plugin to make conditions with this weight, not the total weight.

    I can change WooCommerce total weight by this filter hook –

    add_filter('woocommerce_cart_contents_weight', 'custom_cart_contents_weight', 10, 1);
function custom_cart_contents_weight($weight)
{
    global $total_weight;
    $weight = $total_weight;
    return $weight;
}

    How to assign this weight to the total weight your plugin applies the condition for?

    Can you please give me an example of how to filter your hooks so that it uses my calculated weight? Actually, I am not understanding the hooks you refer to.

    add_filter('flexible-shipping/condition/contents_weight', 'custom_cart_contents_weight', 10, 1);
function custom_cart_contents_weight($contents_weight)
{
    global $total_weight;
    $contents_weight = $total_weight;
    return $contents_weight;
}

    It’s not working.

    Hi,

    if in global $total_wight is the correct value, it should work. Please, enable debug mode in shipping method and paste debug messages.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    the input weight for conditions is 0. So global $total_weight is 0.

    Where and when is global $total_weight calculated?
