Ryan,

Love this module. I'm actually using this on a non-commerce site and we have a need for a capacity (cubic feet) field. Technically we could calculate this using an "internal measurements" physical field, but it would be nice to have the field as a part of this project. I envision it looking just like the weight field, but a different set of descriptors.

Wikipedia had this list of cubic volume measurements: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Units_of_volume

  • Cubic centimetre
  • Cubic foot
  • Cubic inch
  • Cubic metre
  • Cubic mile
  • Cubic ton
  • Cubic yard

A possible extension of this kind of field could be a listing of common ingredient measurements (not related to my use case, but I could see this fitting into a cooking supply shopping site):

  • Cup (unit)
  • Tablespoon
  • Teaspoon

and

  • Fluid Ounce
  • Pint
  • Quart
  • Gallon

I'm dealing with recipe data too, would be welcome addition. Speaking of additions, this module should probably work more like API and provide dimensions, weight and other units as sub modules, this way it would be easier to implement, also module code is already on the long side.

Is capacity the same as volume?

Technically no (http://library.thinkquest.org/25459/learning/introduction/volume_and_cap...), but they use the same units, so as far as we're concerned, yes.

Let's mark this as a duplicate of #2483243: Add field for physical volume then.
