    Default product attribute as a multiplier?

    Is there a contribution that can take a product attribute and multiply the product price? If not how can I accomplish this?
    Just to explain a little better. I sell furniture that typically has lots of options including wood types. is it possible to have the base price of the product and a few of its option multiplied by a percentage or value like 1.35 when one of the different wood types is selected?
    I.E. oak table=700, add 2 leaves=200 more, change wood type to cherry add 35%( or multiply by 1.35) to the total of 900. Is this possible?

    I know it can be done with javascript as I have a DW extension that does just that but of course this isn't part of a shopping cart & I dont have the programming skills to integrate something like that.

    You could do this by incrementing an attribute say for leaves - cherry & might have to add 2 attributes for leaves like 1 leaf and the woods & 2 leaves and the woods along with the table and the woods....yes not totally eloquent but easy to set up.

    A function that would increment the total dependant upon the wood selection would require a good bit of custom coding but is also possible but might not be worth the cost.

    I figured as much. I was hoping there would be a way to cut my work load when it came to entering products & attrubutes. If I include all of the wood types I have about 40,000 items to enter probably more. Should be fun!!

    As far as the cost effective thing, to be honest it just might be cuz then I can add that to all of my current sites and any I want to put up in the future.
