X-Cart forums - UPS - Setting Maximum Weight per box

i just upgraded to the latest stable of xcart 4.0.12 and no this hasn't been fixed ever...this is actually extremely easy to fix (although it took me a long time to track down)....i've heard of people paying huge chunks of cash for this simple fix....this works in every version of 4.x that i've tried

as it is...i have it rating them as all seperate boxes but if someone wants i could update the code to put as many items into a box as possible.....

so..here's the code

Before: (file /shipping/mod_UPS.php)

and the other file

Before: (file cart.php around line 285)

Code:

$cart["products"][]=array("cartid"=>$cartid, "productid"=>$productid,"amount"=>$amount, "options"=>$product_options, "free_price"=>@price_format(@$free_price),"distribution"=>$product_distribution);

After:

Code:

$cart["products"][]=array("cartid"=>$cartid, "productid"=>$productid,"amount"=>$amount, "options"=>$product_options, "weight"=>$added_product["weight"], "free_price"=>@price_format(@$free_price),"distribution"=>$product_distribution);

Hope this helps, if you have any problems just drop me a message.
