Dear all,

I started a new module to create a pc configurator for ZEN CART.

awesome - DLing now - hopefully I can figure it out

hmmm, I don't understand where to upload the files specifically - this section doesn't make sense to me

######## UPLOADING FILES ########
2. Upload carefully all files with the right structure. This structure is for template_default -> classic

If you use any custom tamplate just rename "classic" to your tamplate's name.
As for the folder "pc_configurator" which contains 3 files, upload it directly to folder catalog(shop)/includes

ok I thought I had figured it out - I uploaded everything but am now getting thise error message when I go to main cart page - AAAAAHHH!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/cuttin1/public_html/zencart/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/pc_configurator_defines.php on line 12

ok, I deleted that one file and it's working now. What I need this to do is exactly this:

is that possible with this module because from trying to work with it so far it doesn't seem like it is - any ideas?

thanks but if I have different products with different options for each one - example business cards have certain order options and brochures have totally different order options - is that possible to do with this configurator? Wouldn't I need a different configurator for each product? Or is there a way to have products as the main selection and auto-update all other configuration options based on the product selection?

Well this is an issue, but as I mentioned in another POST , PC Configurator is going to be developed as a general product configurator.

As these uploaded versions are for testing, you can not use it in a working shop as a general product configurator.

These testing versions are uploaded, so users can test it so we can fix as many bugs as we can.

As I mentioned, this module is being developed every day.

First, my ideas were completely different how to start.

Then I though I should be based on attributes, but as it would be complicated, I thought I'd better try to write a new module.

As I mentioned when I started, we ( some of this forum users ) should make a team and synchronize our actions.

Now, everybody downloads the module and trying to make it work with his own way.

This would solve particular problems.

But we should be based on a different model of work.

TEAM WORK.

This way, we should synchronize our actions, so we can have the option to uninstall older version all together, and try the new one, or fix the bugs together etc etc.

You know my friend, all these happens because, most users just try to find something to download and use in their shop or in their client's shops.

Just think, ( reffering to all community, not you ; I just took this opportunity ) that behind Zen Cart and this forum, and all other functions behind this web space named Zen Cart, there are people that work; have spend so many hours of their lives for what ?

One way is to DONATE, and if you do not have just a little money for this purpose you can help the community with other ways.

The way I choosed, is to try to write a module, or just to give an idea if I did not manage to do it well.

So, the point is :

Synchronize between eachother.

If someone wants to help this way I suggest to make a "TESTING TEAM" for this module, instead of POSTING again and again without our POSTS have any particular "value". We are going to loose the order of what we are trying to do this way.

Does anybody want to participate in a "TESTING TEAM" - "DEVELOPING TEAM" ?

Please inform the community. The reason is worthable and the result will be too.

Sorry for my English. I am GREEK :) :)

One of the next versions will read attributes

Well my friend is this is what you need, I will write instructions from the start so it will be step by step, file by file, where to upload.

Maybe I should do it from the start, but as this versions uploaded are still under development, and there are changes almost every day, I should write instructions from the start every day.

So I will take your though as suggestion and I will write instructions from the start , step by step, file by file and also some checking that users could do, to see if everything is going right.

This is really an issue about instructions, if you are not so familiarized with Zen Cart

Sorry I am Greek, I do not understand English so good.

You need something ?
