Hi,

I'm looking for a module that would help me produce functionality like a product configurator. Basically it is the same idea as a car configurator. You have a base product and depending on the selections you make, you see differences on the product and the new price.

Is there any kind of module that can help creating this?

I think you can re Shop Made Simple.
There seems to have the ability to add new values.

Hi,

I don't see how you would do this with the shop made simple extension.

I can now at different products, but that's it. What I have is actually 1 product that can be tuned.

For example the customer could choose a color, then the product has to be shown in the specific color. Afterwards, he chooses the size, than the size of the product has to be shown. And so on.

Al this has to be done on time. just as you can configure a car on the website of the brand.

Hi,

I'm looking in the Cataloger module to perform this functionality. I'm wondering if the feature list templates can help me. Does anyone knows how I can implement this? Because I can't find any documentation about it.

hmm, ok that doesn't do it...

I've also found decision tree. This is more what I want. Only problem, when having a large tree, it takes to long to execute...

Have you tried the Products Module..?

There's also the DecisionTree and DecisionMaker modules that are designed to do something similar

I tried the product module. I installed it successfully, but I couldn't open the configuration page. The only thing I got was a blank page.

Calguy,

Yes I'm currently looking at DecisionTree, it looks great, especially because of the possibility to upload xml. I'm looking deeper in to it, but can't find many documentation about it. Probably there will need to be some extra tweaking, but more about that later.

Both of you, many thanks for your time. I will keep this topic a live with some of my attempts and the final solution. I'm already some time busy with CMSMS, but maybe this challenge will be the first to start actually developing some code.

Calguy,

I also looked at the decisionmaker module. This module could even help me more I think.

But, even the examples doesn't work with me. I guess there are some parameters missing, but I don't know which.

my page

On that page, I just got your example tested, 2 questions and a result page. But nothing came out.

Because I couldn't find the 'Form Handling Function' part I used the content part for this.

* edit *

Ok found the 'form handling function' it was on the option tab, didn't see it before... But the problem stays, I can't get the page working.

Hi,

Ok, the problem persists. Yesterday I joined the IRC channel and they helped me. It looked like php safemode was turned on and open_basedir was not correctly set. But I checked both things with my host and it turns out php safemode is off when using php 5.3 and the open basedir is correctly set. My home and the general tmp folder.

Still, it has something to do with storing my session. Because the problem stated when loading the decision list content is that permission is denied when executing lib/classes/class.module_meta.php line 80.

The code on this line:

I was thinking, well maybe I just have to reinstall the whole solution but now directly with php5.3 enabled.

And hey, I can't install it. Something with my session and a not writable directory. Question remains, what to do about it. Is this a problem with my host? Because they keep repeating that everything is fine.

hmm, probably something definitly wrong. But now the installation works fine.

Except, the module is still not working.

Hi,

Calguy, any known issues with the decision maker module?

It doesn't work, host says that ./tmp is writable and on another host I got the same problem. Maybe there is something wrong with sessions, I don't know but it just would not work...
