Unit conversion output filters

    Product weight and measurement fields (and perhaps some others) may need unit conversion for some providers. For example, eMAG requires measurements in millimeters, while WooCommerce stores them in centimeters. Please consider implementing such filters.

    Also on somewhat related note: when I set suffix to 0 in an of a lazy conversion of cm to mm, that suffix was ignored, because "0" is an empty value in PHP, and both the prefix and suffix are tested for being empty here. Instead of checking for these values being empty, may I suggest you to just cast them to strings before using?

    To add to my initial suggestion: instead of creating multiple unit conversion filters, it would probably be better to allow specifying a multiplier when configuring a field (similarly to setting prefix and suffix), which should be applied if the value in the field is numeric. This way, a single option would cover conversion between all units of the same type as well as any other cases where multiplication or division would be necessary (I can’t currently think of any, but that doesn’t mean there are none).

    For example, a multiplier of 10 would effectively convert centimeters to millimeters, and a multiplier of 0.1 would convert the other way around.

    By the way, eMAG appears to expect weights in grams, whereas WooCommerce stores them in kilograms. Again, multiplication is needed, and this time it can’t be solved by a suffix without sacrificing ability to specify weights in fractions of kg.
