Hi Charis,

I see you are very helpful and this is a great contribution. I haven't try to install the module yet since I haven't seen any site with the module actually active. I don't understand anything in your site so it doesn't do it for me.

I just want to show it to a posible interested customer, but show it running. It looks difficult to install and configure, so I don't want to go through all the hassle and find out later doesn't work how it is supposed.

Well do not worry.

My friend Andy installed ( actually I helped him to do it ) PC Configurator and you can see it here : http://www.pcparadiseuk.com

It is not yet populated with products but you can test it and make a configuration to see it working live.

As I told you, if you need help, I can help.

Sorry to all the community because I don't have available time to repack the module now.

You can also try the module in my store www.lebrand.gr

Even if you do not understand Greek ( you should learn ) it is very easy to configure a pc on my web site, so you can see all the changes I made.

As I have written before, when customer complete the configuration all products are going directly to the cart, so he can manage the configuration again, add or delete components in the configuration.

Also, by the same time, a new product is created under category Custom PC, so other people can by it directly.

So, ask Andy how I helped him to run PC Configurator and also my friend Diogo Paiva grom Portugal ( www.meintek.com )

They just trusted me and opened an FTP for me, also login to their eshops and I did the rest.

I am not a usual person ( in nowdays ) , I just like to help when I am able to do it.

This is all for now

Sorry for my English. You should all learn Greek !!!

Yes, the module is working for me , but i still have some problems with the prices.
Please take a look in http://www.meintek.com/index.php?mai...c_configurator

They are simply wrong, insted of being 40,25€ the price shows only 40€ !
After this anoying and not wanted problem is resolved in my store, the PC Configurator is working fine, and i will populate it with some more products.

I still need your help on this, Charis, if you please contact me to help me find the solutions on this. Do you still have the FTP account? I´ll creat another one for you, if needed.

If we couldn´t solve this problem i will remove the PC Configurator untill all is fixed.

This is a must be on Online TekStores, i thank everyone how suport this threat.

Hugs for you, Charis.

Hope to get any answers and help of you guys.

See you soon

I can see that if someone is selection options, and then decide to take out any item, the calculations are messed up and shopper has to start all over again.

I like your humour !!!

I like your humour !!!

I'm serious... If you make some selections, then try to put the original (first) option, which I think doesn't add to the cost, will make the configurator insert a "NaN" and then the totals show that as well.

I know that !!!

Just press the reset button.

You know, when you want to buy a brand new desktop, you have all the time to configure it through this application.

All things are going to change anyway and be improved.

So lets not just stick to this bug but promote our ideas to make PC Configurator a general universal configurator so it can handle all Zen Cart functions.

Lets say this is a small bug. We better write more complicated code and implement PC Configurator as General configurator, to be a part of Zen Cart application.

If you want to discuss this further, please do not post here.

Thank you for spending time to help the community for this module.

Dear all,

I have uploaded a new version of PC Configurator

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=667


I am writing the user guide, so please be patient

Anyway, go download and install it.

You will find many new "READ_ME_FIRST" files in some folders.

Read it first, before you install.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I have downloaded and installed the new version on a local server that mirrors my live site. The installation process was a little easier than the first time I tried it about a month ago on my live site. One problem I see that slows the installation and leaves room for errors is that in the SQL file none of the tables have the zen_ prefix. Given that it is the default during installation of the Cart you may want to consider adding them into the patch file. Or if you prefer I have added them to the one I downloaded and I can send it to you to save time recoding something already done.

Now I do have a problem with the installation. It shows in my admin area, and in the front end of the cart, and when I click on the link in the categories box or the header link I get to the Custom PC page like its supposed to. But, as soon as I click on the "PC Configurator" link or the "...needs by pressing 'here'" link i get an Access Forbidden page that looks like this...

Access forbidden!

Any idea why?
