Weight in email

(@indira14)

I need the total cart weight to show up on the order emails so that the admin can easily find the total weight for the shipping company.

I tried it with this code:

<table>
<tr class="total weight">
   <th><strong><?php _e('Total Weight', 'woocommerce'); ?></strong></th>
     <td><strong><?php
       $total_weight = $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_weight;
       $total_weight .= ' '.get_option('woocommerce_weight_unit');
       echo $total_weight;
     ?></strong></td>
 </tr>
 </table>

But in the email, nothing shows up after “Total Weight”.

Try adding:
```
global $woocommerce;
```
before using the $woocommerce variable.

Hi lorro,

I followed your suggestion. I changed the code in admin-new-order.php to
```
<table>
<tr class="total weight">
   <th><strong><?php _e('Total Weight', 'woocommerce'); ?></strong></th>
     <td><strong><?php
       global $woocommerce;
       $total_weight = $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_weight;
       $total_weight .= ' '.get_option('woocommerce_weight_unit');
       echo $total_weight;
     ?></strong></td>
 </tr>
 </table>
```
But it didn’t change anything. Still no number of the weight showing up in the emails.

Works for me.

I wonder where you are putting it in admin_new_order.php. In my test, I put it at line 45, after the line with the </table> tag.

If you can find or add this line in wp_config.php
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
and change false to true for testing, it may give a clue about what’s going wrong.

Depending on your mail client, you can expose the email markup with control-F3, if so, look for any clues in the markup near “Total weight”.

This is my entire admin_new_order.php

<?php
/**
* Admin new order email
*
* @author WooThemes
* @package WooCommerce/Templates/Emails/HTML
* @version 2.0.0
*/
if ( ! defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) exit; // Exit if accessed directly ?>

<?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_email_header’, $email_heading ); ?>

<p><?php printf( __( ‘You have received an order from %s. Their order is as follows:’, ‘woocommerce’ ), $order->billing_first_name . ‘ ‘ . $order->billing_last_name ); ?></p>

<?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_email_before_order_table’, $order, true, false ); ?>

<h2>id . ‘&action=edit’ ); ?>”><?php printf( __( ‘Order: %s’, ‘woocommerce’), $order->get_order_number() ); ?> (<?php printf( ‘<time datetime=”%s”>%s</time>’, date_i18n( ‘c’, strtotime( $order->order_date ) ), date_i18n( wc_date_format(), strtotime( $order->order_date ) ) ); ?>)</h2>

<table cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”6″ style=”width: 100%; border: 1px solid #eee;” border=”1″ bordercolor=”#eee”>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope=”col” style=”text-align:left; border: 1px solid #eee;”><?php _e( ‘Product’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?></th>
<th scope=”col” style=”text-align:left; border: 1px solid #eee;”><?php _e( ‘Quantity’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?></th>
<th scope=”col” style=”text-align:left; border: 1px solid #eee;”><?php _e( ‘Price’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php echo $order->email_order_items_table( false, true ); ?>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<?php
if ( $totals = $order->get_order_item_totals() ) {
$i = 0;
foreach ( $totals as $total ) {
$i++;
?><tr>
<th scope=”row” colspan=”2″ style=”text-align:left; border: 1px solid #eee; <?php if ( $i == 1 ) echo ‘border-top-width: 4px;’; ?>”><?php echo $total[‘label’]; ?></th>
<td style=”text-align:left; border: 1px solid #eee; <?php if ( $i == 1 ) echo ‘border-top-width: 4px;’; ?>”><?php echo $total[‘value’]; ?></td>
</tr><?php
}
}
?>
</tfoot>
</table>

<table>
<tr class=”total weight”>
<th><?php _e(‘Total Weight’, ‘woocommerce’); ?></th>
<td><?php
global $woocommerce;
$total_weight = $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_weight;
$total_weight .= ‘ ‘.get_option(‘woocommerce_weight_unit’);
echo $total_weight;
?></td>
</tr>
</table>

<?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_email_after_order_table’, $order, true, false ); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_email_order_meta’, $order, true, false ); ?>

<h2><?php _e( ‘Customer details’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?></h2>

<?php if ( $order->billing_email ) : ?>
<p><?php _e( ‘Email:’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?> <?php echo $order->billing_email; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $order->billing_phone ) : ?>
<p><?php _e( ‘Tel:’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?> <?php echo $order->billing_phone; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php wc_get_template( ’emails/email-addresses.php’, array( ‘order’ => $order ) ); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_email_footer’ ); ?>

As far as I know I put it exactly where you said, line 45 right after </table>.

Yes, the extra code is in the same place that I used.

Your file has some characters missing at line 17. Though I don’t think that’s the problem, its probably best to start over with a fresh copy of admin-new-order.php.

There are two versions of admin-new-order.php:
woocommerce/templates/emails/admin-new-order.php
for html emails, and
woocommerce/templates/emails/plain/admin-new-order.php
for plain text emails.

The email type is set at Dashboard / WooCommerce / Settings / Emails tab, New Order section, Email type dropdown. Could you just check you are editing the version appropriate to the email type.

It worked, thanks so much!

One thing: the weight shows 0kg if someone pays with iDeal. Any ideas on how to fix that?
