PC Configurator Module [Support Thread]

[Morrison5891]

I have d/led and install the PC Configurator, it shows up in my sideboxes configuration, and also the config area... I have select motherboard, memory, etc to be displayed... but I can't seem to figure out how to get the PC configurator to show up any where on my web site. I have never before worked with PHP or zen cart. I am completely new to this... Can someone please help me?

Using your FTP program,

Go to your Shopping/includes/templates and write down all folders you can see.

Then email me : [email protected]

Do not post here, until we make your configurator workable.

Hi, There. I just found out your PC configure module for zen-cart, which is very interesting. And I believe it will be very useful for my friend's web site.

He is doing computer business, and would like to put all his stuffs online for customers to check out. I am going to use zen-cart as his e-biz solution. But I have one issue: he is selling PC systems and PC components as well. And he would like the customer can replace some PC components after a PC system has been put into the shopping cart.

Let me say an example. A PC system with Intel Core DUO 2.4GHZ, 1 GB Memory, 80 GB Hard-disk ect. is selling with the price of $500. After a customer put this system into his shopping cart, he will have an option to upgrade (or downgrade) any component. He would like to upgrade the harddriver from 80 GB to 160GB. Since the retailer price for 80GB HD is $40, and 160GB HD is $80, and PC system will only minus 80% of the retailer price of PC component. Then the new PC price will be $500-($40 * 80%) + $80 = $548.

Is possible to accomplish such configuration above with your module? Please advise, I would like get more information before I mess up with the zen-cart. Thanks

With the latest version, all components go to the cart directly.

Then, it is easy to delete or add any other compenent you like.

Thanks for the quick reply. According to what you said, which means in the latest version the customer can select a system with all necessary components and put it into the cart. Then they can add/delete components from the cart? And how about the rule of pricing when adding/deleting components.

Sorry for these questions, and I will definitely give your module a try later.

This has to do with zen cart shopping cart calculations

Zen Cart will remove the component of 40 $ and will add 80$

So it will be 500 - 40 + 80 = 540


With the latest version of PC Configurator, components go to cart directly as individual items. It is like you add different productsin the cart and then you can add or remove.

So we have to change shopping cart code to do the calculations you need, but it is more complicated this way.

There should be a special page with special shopping cart calculations before moving all items to the main shopping cart.

I am very sorry, but I do not have availiable time for developing this now, as I have to travel to Namimbia for National Geographic magazine

Thanks for the explanation.

I tried to experiment your module, but I was stuck in the first step. When I did the sql patch on my fresh installed 1.3.8 zen-cart, I got the error message.


1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE configuration_key = configuration_key'

what does that mean? Please help!

please discard my previous post since I found the solution from the old thead by deleting the ON DUPLICATE... thing.
