I need a custom module needed.
High level overview:
I am creating a blind site, similiar to selectblinds.com. The user will enter
the site and select the blinds, add them to the cart, etc.
Each blind has the following variations:
3 types of blinds (Faux, Composite, Wood)
Each type has it's own set of colors
Mounting style - Internal and external
Height & width
The height and width is the tricky part. Each type of blind has it's own pricing
table, based on the width & height.
Here is a sample pricing breakdown for wood blinds:
Height Width Price
20 12 $20
20 14 $25
20 16 $25
If the user selects 20 X 12 1/8, the price would be $25. The blinds can be sized
in 1/8" increments, so if the user selects 20 X 12 5/8 the price would still be $25.
The price is a function of height & width.
We tried to implement this using the Drupal 4.72 Ecommerce modules (apparel module
with product variations applied).
Take a look at what I have so far at:
http://www.basicmagic.net/cashandcarryblinds/web/node/556
We came close, but there are a few issues we have'nt figured out how to solve,
including:
1. The price for each blind is NOT calculated based on the width & height. The
closest thing I found is pricing options in the product variations. Notice on the
page above that the price is displayed on the first page - but it should
not calculated
2. Once the blind is added tp the shopping cart, it must behave exactly as a normal
product would, meaning I should be able to log in as an admin and see the product
in my store, ready for shipment.
3. I do not need an admin interface created to manage the prices of the blind.
I can write a sql script that updates the database if the prices change.
------------
I would prefer to use existing modules if at all possible if you know how to fix the issues
I mentioned above.
Send me your relevant work history, sample urls and a bid. I need to get this started right away.
I prefer someone who has worked on previous product modules in the past.
Payment is 50% up front 50% upon completion via paypal.
email me with any questions- 'c.wilde at teckcrew.com'
thanks,
Clint

Use CCK, E-Commerce and
Use CCK, E-Commerce and E-Commerce subproducts (CVS).

Subproducts can work, but
Subproducts can work, but you may have to specify a lot of combinations
may be able to write some jquery/ajax to connect back to product::variations and give you a proper price for any combination by writing the algorithm to figure it out behind it.
and i think there was some work done where the cart were store extra information abuot the purchase, such as the variations/additions selected, final price is sent thru via product API's price change

Your right about having alot of combinations - I don't mind that.
Do you have a link which talks about the api changes which allows different pricing options passed in?
thanks for your help,
Clint
if I just received an email
if I just received an email from you about this module, I'm not sure why. I've never looked at this thread.
