PC Configurator Module [Support Thread]

[hennie]

When I put a currency symbol on the left in admin-->localization-->currency, then I get NaN in the price block, but when I put this symbol on the right hand side in works fine.

Hi people,

i have been trying this new version but had problems with the YOUR_zen_cart_catalog/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/pc_configurator_defines.php file, upon uploading it i was getting an error message on line 12, i have located this error and you will need to replace it with the following

define('PC_CONFIGURATOR_CUSTOMER_INFORMATION_TABLE_TEXT', 'Above you can check all of your selections. This Pesronal Computer will now be available for everyone to buy. If you want you can provide your name below to be displayed in this computers description. To continue press -Buy this Personal Computer-'); 

Please do correct me if i am wrong but i do believe this is the only problem and it should dtill work fine once you have done this

Yes, sorry. Instead "computer's" should be "computers". I do not remember how to include ' inside the define.

[lebrand2006]

Could someone please take a look at my site and tell me if what i have for the configurator is correct because it really doesn't look right to me.
The link is as follows

OK.

I forgot to mention several things in the readme file. This is why this is Aplha Testing Version.

Well, go to Admin -> Tools -> Layout Boxes Controller and ACTIVATE the sidebox / pc_configurator_sidebox.php

After go to Admin -> Configuration -> Layout Settings and change the setting "Main page - Opens with category" to any other category except "PC Configurator Options".

Well you can leave it like it is but this may confuse the customers.

As it seems you have enabled this category "PC Configurator Options"

Anyway, if you enable the sidebox as mentioned above, then everybody can reach this URL in your site :

http://www.pcparadiseuk.com/shop/ind...c_configurator

It seems that some file is missing, or not uploaded.

Tru to upload again the folder pc_configurator, inside your "public_html/shop/includes/"

Then upload again the 3 files "define_pc_configurator.php" , "define_pc_configurator_step_2.php", "define_pc_configurator_step_3.php" in your :

public_html/shop/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic

It seems you uploaded directly in html_includes. Upload in html_includes/classic

Another issue than mentioned from a community member is about courrencies.

Just go to Admin -> Localization -> Currencies and do the following
##############################################################################################################_
Edit your currencies, especially GBP and put the values as following :

Title and Code, whatever you want

Symbol left - > There is a problem with symbol left so leave it blank and use symbol right, put this in the symbol right :

 &#8356

If you have the value 10, the above line will produce 10 ₤

Demical point : .

Thousands Point : ,

It seems you used these fields to give some more info like : "inc. vat & UK del"

If you use it in the right side, there is no problem.

So let's asume you want to produce a price as following :

10 ₤ inc. vat & UK del

This will be produced if you put this :  &#8356 inc. vat & UK del

in the Symbol Right field.

But because of the reason that Symbol Left and Symbol Right columns in database are varchar(24), it will produce :

10 ₤ inc. v

So you can solve this problem this way :

Go to admin -> Tools -> Install SQL Patches and run this :

ALTER TABLE `currencies` CHANGE `symbol_right` `symbol_right` VARCHAR( 64 ) DEFAULT NULL ;

I did it in my shop, and works perfect : www.lebrand.gr/eshop

Follow the instructions above and if you have any other problem, do not hesitate to contact me directly at [email protected]

Also, I forgot to include 3 defines in the main screen, about net price, tax and total price.

So I will add it in the next update.

You do not have to wait for the next update, which will have some more additions .

Just upload the new ATTACHED files as following :

1. pc_configurator_defines.php ( " ' " IN computer's is fixed - do not worry it is OK )

In your

public_html/shop/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/

AND

2. define_pc_configurator.php

In your

public_html/shop/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic

awesome - DLing now - hopefully I can figure it out

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

You need something ?

[lebrand2006]

Fixed that problem. It seems that you have to fully populate the list in admin to get it displayed. It also looks like the groups that you dont want to remove it in the "pc_configurator_products_construction_query.php". Maybe built something in to remove groups that is not neccessary. I might be wrong in my statement.

Hennie

Even without any products in subcategories, inside category "PC Configurator Options" and even you do not activate and select products group from 1 to 28 in Admin -> Configuration -> PC Configurator , when you open your URL http://www.yourdomain/zen_cart/index...c_configurator it shows without any options but only shows "Net Price", "Tax", "Total Price" fields and also "Reset" and "Continue to Step 2" buttons.

I tested this many times without any problem. I do not know if there is any bug as for the queries and MySQL version or something else but for me it's working.

[lebrand2006]

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

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

[lebrand2006]

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?

There was some bugs in this file.

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?
