Build Your Own Product

[itch]

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I need to know how to do the following:

I want customers to be able to BUILD THEIR OWN PC on my site. I.e. They must be able to pick certain parts like the motherboard, processor, case etc. Then they must construct their own pc and and submit that as their final product.

Is there any way to do this?!

You can do that using attributes.

If a group or series of choices to be made all on one page works for you, standard attributes will be easy to set up.

If you want a step-by-step process like Dell has, that will require a bunch of custom coding. Likewise if you want to limit the choices for option B depending on the choice for option A.

Hi,
I have used zencart several times but never for a build to order site. I explained to a possible client that they could use attributes, but he wants a few things that I do not know if Zen Cart can handle. If anyone could let me know if zen cart could do the following, please let me know :)

This is for a custom PC site.
1. When a person selects the PC Case, the product image changes to that case.
2. He wants the attributes spread over a couple of pages, since there will be so many.
3. He wants the price to update automatically with each selection.

Thanks!
Jill

There's a PC Configurator mod here:

I haven't used it.

Thanks. After my post, I found that thread, but it looks like it never really got off of the ground. Does anyone know of any working examples of it?
