PC Configurator Module [Support Thread]

Hello Lebrad, I have uninstall pc configurator but my admin page > Configuration has lots of listing of "PC cponfigurator" and "PC configurator Options". How do I remove them from the menu?

thanks in advance.
pcspot.

Hey you guys!! I am having so much trouble with PC Configurator. The thing is some one else installed it and now I need to sort out the problems. Can anybody help me?!

My main problem is in the admin area. PC Configuratoe Basic is working very nicely, but the Options aren't even showing.

So I've been setting up this script on my site and so far iv tweaked all of the errors, but my question is... since it was written for a currency symbol on the right, what code would have to be changed to allow the script to work with the currency symbol on the left, like the $?

Well, after days of playing with and tweaking the script, i have a fully functional PC Configurator installed on my zencart. Still a bit more tweaking to do, but it works. Also changed it to rent linens and towels instead of PC parts.

http://146.145.155.163/zencart/surf

Please help?! What did you change on the scripts to have such a beautiful pc configurator?

Hello!


You say "BE CAREFULL, DO NOT RENAME ANY OF THESE CATEGORIES INSIDE CATEGORY "PC Configurator Options" ELSE PC CONFIGURATOR WILL
NOT WORK."

So how do I write the names in my language then?

Is there any online demo of this configurator? I cannot get it working, what is that Popup info and where does it show?

Please can some post a link where they have this working. Currently i've followed the instructions step-by-step and fail to see it working from a usability and adminstration point of view.
:frusty:
would it not be simpler to reuse the existing categories of your shop as the basic product lists. what's the point of having a drop down when you an only have one item in there anyway?

shouldn't the dropdown list all items under a specific category?

the pop up would then display desripctions of the product chosen.

would others agree?

I need help. I would like this mod to work but I cannot get it to install. I keep getting the error invalid integer for column....

I am use MySQL 5 and zen cart 1.3.8.

Hi there, I'm stuck at the first step here. :lookaroun I'm trying to run the SQL queries, but I get an error saying "Error: Nothing to do - no query or query-file specified." Can anyone help me?

Ladies and gents looking for this particular mod to work; just to provide a quick, short and sweet answer to your questions; :shocking::frusty: IT DOESN'T WORK!!! LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR A POSSIBLE WORKING MOD. I generally am not trying post a negative message regarding this mod and become a hopeless advocate. There is nothing more than I would like to see a mod like this working for Zencart, but as long as I have been on this forum, that remains to be seen / proven. And if someone does have it working out there, good luck on getting them to tell you how they did it, or better yet how to do it. The guy that started this whole thing named "Charis" is a great guy and he possibly knows how to get this thing working, but he has been too busy to work on this for the past couple of months (since April of 08). So, officially I will say that this is a "busted" mod and a BUMP!! If there is anyone out there that would say otherwise, then I would like to see this working with out further BS. Sorry to inform you all with the bad news.:cry::cry:

The trought is that I was realy bussy. I also work in a bank for the last 6 months. Please understand that I do not have much time, even for my family.

BUT I just want to tell you, that I started making changes, so PC Configurator will change and everybody can easily install.

That means that I have to write the whole code from the start and re-pack it.

PC Configurator will be a GENERAL configurator, accossiated with well known modules as EasyPopulate, Tabed Buttons and many more , to help users more.

I will try to fix all bugs, as I am getting better on programming PHP etc, and make the whole thing overriding so there are not changes in core system files.

Last thing I would like to say, is that I called for help from the start, to create a team for PC Configurator, but there was not any response.

Thank you all

Hi again.

It's a new day for pc configurator, but I am afraid of that there should always be some changes in core code.

Let's do it from the start. Build a new configurator for ANY KIND of products !!!

Let's just name it PRODUCT CONFIGURATOR !

For those who DID NOT EVER MAKE ANY CHANGE in their files :

1. admin/categories.php

2. admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php


YOU CAN START HELPING IN THIS NEW CONFIGURATOR

I will include any change in every post so all can follow.

Have in mind that I run version 1.3.0.1 but tested on 1.3.8 works FINE

BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGE, BACK UP YOUR FILES :

1. admin/categories.php

2. admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php


Download the zip file included in this post and upload :

1. categories.php -> to your admin folder

2. category_product_listing.php -> to your admin/includes/modules folder

3. not_part_in_configurator.gif -> to your admin/images folder

4. part_in_configurator.gif -> to your admin/images folder


Go to :

Admin -> Install SQL Patches

and RUN this :

ALTER TABLE `categories` ADD COLUMN `pc_configurator` int(11) NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `categories_status`;

READY TO SEE THE RESULTS ?

Now go to Admin -> Categories/Products to see what happens :


In the top ( LEGEND ROW ) you will notice 2 new icons described

Configurator ON - Configurator OFF

Now take a look at the column Status :

Where categories have products, you will notice the new (icon)button in the right of the green (v) or red (x) (icon)button

Where categories have subcategories the button is hidding for the reason that we want to populate some drop down lists with products later, so we can select a category to be included in CONFIGURATOR only if there are products in it.

This is the CONFIGURATOR button, and the first steps for this new module.

PRESS this button to see what happens :

I added a new "case" ( new form, new action ) so we can update the new column 'pc_configurator' we added in table `categories` before.

Have in mind, that all modifications for a CONFIGURATOR in the future will be from an excel file.

I started writing the code for module "CONFIGURATOR_EASY_POPULATE" which is based on Easy_Populate module.

So, changing products, prices, descriptions, and any other information for configurator products will be ONE CLICK and independed from Easy Populate, if you have installed and using it.

That's it for now.

Please test and reply. If someone have an idea to override instead of making changes to core files categories.php and category_product_listing.php please post it.

Next step is to loop through categories with products, where CONFIGURATOR IS ON to produce DROP DOWN lists.

Any idea for the shorting ?

I am thinking of using some javascript to produce links(with 'url vars') for visitor page where configurator.php will be, and use "@extract($_GET)" to get all these vars, maybe to compare with vals from queries which have to do with categories which are included in Configurator module, so visitor can select which categories, or type of product to configure.

Thanks

If you want, ASK from moderators or administrators to delete this post.

LIFE IS GOOD !!!

Thank you for your support

Dear all,

take a look at this :

http://www.lebrand.gr/eshop/index.php?main_page=mpatclb

Maybe this time I am better.

Just learned some more PHP.

All these happens with some lines of code.

This new configurator, will be really nice, only 2-3 pages of code, not very hardcoded, and the best is that will be developed to be a general product configurator.

Everything will be easy from admin area. There will be options so every user can make as many product configurators as many he likes. Also everything will be controlled fast from an excel file. In 10 minutes, there could be 100ds of changes, and ONE CLICK to UPDATE !!

Please, see the previous POSTS and try, so we make it all together, fixing posible bugs the same time, and follow this link

http://www.lebrand.gr/eshop/index.php?main_page=mpatclb

It is just aplha testing version (temp site for testing)

We find all selected categories from user, from admin area, and then we produce categories ids.

2 while loops are running now.

One more while loop will bring 100ds products for all these categories.

This is it for now. Let me write some code and I will come back latter.

Very good news.

THE NEW PAGE WORKING ON MY SITE IS

http://www.lebrand.gr/eshop/index.ph...e=configurator

I made some changes in the code and now we have the first configurator WORKING !!!

If you want to test it to your site, you have to make a new page.

To make a new page, just download the attachment zip file ( NEW CONFIGURATOR.zip ) and upload it's contents to your site.

The zip file also contents an "admin" folder. If you did not install, as described in POST #215, JUST follow the instructions in the POST #215 : http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=215

I named the new page configurator, because it will later be used as the BASE PAGE for selecting what products to CONFIGURE.

That means that there will be a FILTER, so visitor can SELECT from many GROUPS of PRODUCTS to CONFIGURE a set of them.

Maybe you sell bicycles, computers or any other kind of sets of products that are combined, or generaly products that have accessories that someone can select as extra parts.

NO PROBLEM !!!

The NEW , GENERAL CONFIGURATOR will do the following for you :

1. Gather the categories for the kind of product that should be configured
2. List the products within every category with drop down lists
3. Add selected products to cart

But there is a long way to reach this point, so please follow the posts, and test every step.

Thanks

http://www.lebrand.gr/eshop/index.ph...e=configurator

Dear all,

New configurator is very easy to install.

If somebody is interested, please POST, so we can go on and test all together, to find possible bugs.

You can allways visit the base site for NEW CONFIGURATOR :

http://www.lebrand.gr/eshop/index.ph...e=configurator

First page, the most advanced is working fine. Now preparing changes in admin area so we can sort categories the way we like it to be, for configurator.

Again, no new pages, no SQL patces, ONLY one column addition in table categories to characterise every category which participate in configurator.

Thanks

New testing WORKING version available.

Download the new zip file from this POST.

Upload and test.

Please provide your URL, and tell me what else you need the configurator to do.

Thanks

You should set up a svn on google code, then we can easily help you.

Yup, but some like me pretty much prefer to use SVN so we dont have to worry about code conflict and such ^_^. Iy's your mode, your choice anyway.

Hey,

Nice job so far man, but here are my few suggestions...

1. Drop down is good, but sometimes you need check boxes or select out of the list dots(not sure how this stuff is called technically)
2. For the cases other then drop down menus, images next to the choices would be very nice to have.
3. I'm not sure how it works now, but once configured and added to cart I personally wouldn't like prices per option NOT to show up in cart, instead i would rather have them listed in cart, but have one total price for the MAIN item show up ONLY.
4. Admin panel should have manual order entry for the phone orders and an ability to use configurator for the over the phone created orders.
5. Configurator should be a part of the main item that zen cart lists under categories, so by clicking on the item you would get an item page with it's description and configurator under it. And of course there should be an option in admin panel to turn configurator on and off for each item that you sell.

I will stop for now before you start hating me :)
Please remember that I'm just suggesting and do understand that it's all hard to do and does take time, which believe me most of us here appreciate.

Nice job and thanks a lot. :clap:

P.S. I have no link to show you as without the options I listed it is unusable for me just yet. :blink:

You rock.

No, thank you.

-Tim

/admin/FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER.php?products_filter=152&current_category_id=19

So.. what's that mean?

I installed the PCC on my cart, but it doesn't seem to be functioning.

I also get this (picture attached:) in the Catalog -> Categories/Products - seems to me like something is missing from somewhere.

I get the icons in the LEGEND btwn Status ON and Linked Product. I also get the Sort Configurator Categories link up top.

I double-made-sure that I uploaded the files into their corresponding locations.

Going to love this once it's up and running!

Thanks in advance,

-Tim

p.s. I used the last release of the mod to the best of my knowledge.

I would very much like to use this mod but I am quite confused on how to set it up. From what I read in the readme(s), it seems you just add products to the options categories and it should, in theory, work from there, but I see no drop-downs or anything, so I'm wondering how (from a customer perspective), one is supposed to specify all the parts they want for a custom PC. Any help? Thanks.

Is this project dead in the water? :(

Looks like it.
Maybe v2 will render this unnecessary?

Either way, I'm looking to do something that this mod could possibly have sorted.

Its bad that this module don't work

When i come to these page and press HERE
Custom PC
Desktop Computers created from customers by using PC Configurator.
You can select to buy one of these Computers or configure one by yourself based on your needs by pressing HERE

I got these error, the URL adress look like
http://127.0.0.1/zengrund200904/%3C?php echo HTTP_SERVER; ?><?php echo DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>index.php?main_page=pc_configurator

Have someone get i to work for the last year?

i have the same error as about when i click the link it shows some php code also....

Best Chris,

Just to make any sort of sense in this extremly difficult mod, please post a complete install pack, not just some jumping from page to page. Then maybe some real good coder could get the hang of this, and help you out with it, because as it is now its very hard to keep track in the various changes. I'm not a coder but very interested in this mod and could maybe participate in some way.

Hi,
would you mind to upload your module in to one new file? It would be very handy for beginners as well as for those who have fresh install. THX

Well, I am using a FOR to loop within categories, that have been selected to paricipate in product configurator.

INSIDE this FOR loop, I am using a WHILE loop, to select all products from every category.

Before I close the FOR loop, I produce the drop down lists.

OLD configurator, was too much code.

This way, the NEW way, some lines of code do all the job.

Because of the reason I am too bussy, I did not manage to gather and pack the NEW version.

I also need to make changes for the next steps.

BUT, as there are many requests from many of you, for making this module to be working for any kind of product, I am here to listen to your ideas.

Maybe we can use some more JAVA script and AJAX to perform smart operations.

Just I need all of you, give me your ideas. How would you like a configurator to be etc.

As about configuring a PC there are issues about dependency between parts of it, so we have to write a function to check it.

I introduce the code that does the JOB , below

[file : includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_configurator.php]:



<?php

// Instead using language file, language defines are below and you can change it to your language :

define('PRODUCT_DETAILS_LINK_TEXT', 'Product Details');
define('CONFIGURATOR_NET_PRICE_TEXT', 'Net Price : ');
define('CONFIGURATOR_TAX_PRICE_TEXT', 'Tax Price : ');
define('CONFIGURATOR_TOTAL_PRICE_TEXT', 'Total Price : ');
define('CONFIGURATOR_BUTTON_RESET_TEXT', 'Reset');
define('CONFIGURATOR_BUTTON_STEP_2_TEXT', 'Continue');
?>

<!-- Using custom STYLE for configurator page. You can make changes if needed-->

Zen Cart, have 100's of functions and 1000's lines of code.

I started learning PHP and MySQL with Zen Cart.

I want to make this module to be fully compatible with Zen Cart, without changing Zen Cart code but using override system. It is not difficult to do this, but I need a good team...just people that want to help, just to tell me their opinion and ideas...

I am also, one of those who have downloaded and installed 10's of modules. But I also try to give something to Zen Cart.

So, do not just comment, but be a part of this, JUST with your ideas [if you have any].

I know [or I can imagine] 10's ways to make a module like this to work, but because of the reason it is not just for me, but maybe for 100's of people that want to use it, maybe you can tell you ideas.

So, you can post your ideas, then we gather all of it, and comment it.

Next step will be easy.

Just an advice for new zen cart users. You may not need this module!
If you want customers to be able to configure their computers, use attributes. Read this tutorial https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=57

Being a new user I spent hours trying to get PC Configurator to work without success. Using attributes worked at once and was easy to configure. So, as usual, reading the manual can save you a lot of trouble :blush:

Yes I agree.

Attributes is the best solution.

Costomers will love it !

Thanks to zab-sv for helping !

So is this the latest addition of the module?

I noticed that the version posted on the free addons page is way outdated.

Hello zab-sv

Don't know how you can say this.

OSC has a configurator were you can browse for the different kinds of products (mainbord, hd, mem, etc) and add them to the configurator and give a discount to it because the customer buys multiple products. How can this be done with attributes ?

Regards,

Hello!

How can you make a pc or other product configurator with the attributes?
I've tried but don't know how can you list the specific part from the categories list...
I need to add product parts wich are invididual products in the store to a set. I know how to add color and other attributes or dropdown lists, but can't figure out how I can list the specified product categories to the set, so the client can choose.

Can somebody point me to the right direction, or tell me how can I accomplish that? Or what I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance for your time! I hope I'll get an answer...

Hi Guys,
I started to use Zen recently and found this but its old.

Please reply ASAP.

Thanks

I installed it in 1.39h and it worked, but I am still figuring out how to use the PC Configurator. I can't find a user guide (except installation) anywhere.

What are the differences between this mod and attributes?

Hello,
I think this mod is actually using multiple products to create a more complex product like a computer unit. With attributes I did not figure a way to create a computer unit for example. The attributes are applied to a product and you can customize a given product in some way (ex.: apply colour, buttons, etc.) but you can't build a custom product from multiple others... or so I understood reading all documentation I was able to.

P.S.: Can you please post the files you installed and is working (if you used the latest versions)? I think will help others if they will read and want to try the mod... It's difficult to go and read all posts and apply all the patches... Or at least make some guide for installing the mod...
I will try this, but I'm pretty busy right now and this needs some time...

Can it edit the Sales Message Goes Here and actually make it change?

I made the changes as shown here https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=127 but all that accomplished was replacing the sales message with HEADER_SALES_TEXT and breaking the link to the default Zen Cart image next to it, even though I didn't change anything for that image.

Hello. I set up a test zen cart and uploaded files. I run the sql patch but there i am trying to figure out how could this module works. I see a "Sort Configurator Categories" up on the left side of the admin panel and when i click i see "Sort Order will show exactly as you specify here, in visitors area.(NOT YET WORKING - TEST PERIOD)" but i can't edit anything. I enabled configurator for a category from the icon on the right but again there is nothing else to edit :wacko:

I have good knowledge of mysql and installed many modules but i this one is not easy for me. I would apreciate some help so that i can test and report.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi!

If you installed this module, please tell me what must to show on the step 3. I instaled but in step 3 is frozen with message PLEASE WAIT ...

The Pc configurator is a good ideea but is very hard to copy from admin all products for each category to respective category of pc configurator.

I want from admin ->sql patches to copy all products from category or subcategory with id # "x" to category with id # "y".

In this way it will copy all the products together. And eventually can create a cron job.

Can anyone show me how can I query the database to copy all products from category # "x" to category # "y"?

Thank you very much!
