This is melting my brain. Please help me !

Hi,

I've already posted a thread about my curtain website where I wanted a way to have customers enter in their required curtain measurements and they would be remembered sitewide.

Well I've decided against the sitewide thing. Seems it's more hassle than it's worth.

So with that in mind I thought I'd repost and give a bit better description of the problem.

The link below is a pic of the price sheet which explains better than I can in words.

Basically the curtains get more expensive depending on how many widths (1 width = 1 meter) and how much of a drop you require. After that the customer can add extras such as what type of top they want, lining etc... All the extras can be handled by attribute in zencart, simple enough, but working out the price by the customer entering measurements is the hard part.

Other sites have the ability for customers to enter measurements and the price calculates from that. And basically thats what I want to do.

I have made a website before which used php and forms sql and database etc so I kinda understand all that but I'm rubbish at thinking it through and planning how it would work and I can't think whats the best way to do this?

Can anyone guide me please! I'd really appreciate it!

You're going to have to write software (or hire it done) to solve this problem. There's nothing built in.

Yeah I know there's nothing built in. And I'm prepared to have a go at writing the software if someone could point me in the right direction. Like I say I've done a wee bit before with php and I'm willing to spend hours reading tutorials/books/etc if needs be.

I've already put up a thread in the commercial help wanted section but no responses so far. Are you able to do something like this? How much do you think it'd cost?

cheers
