Hello
Does anyone have idea about an open source "product configurator", or any available code that I could use to implement this functionality?
To explain, a product configurator is a form that allows you to build a product up to your specifications online. For example, if we take a car, you can choose options such as electric roof, 150 or 180 BHP engine, extra power chip, spoiler. But options have dependencies among themselves, for example, you cannot choose glass roof if you chose convertible, and the type of extra power chip varies according to the engine chosen. Options can also get more complicated then that, this was a simple example.
Of course I'm not dealing with cars, and also I dont need any graphical display of the result (no need to see the product in green or red or whatever), I just need a way to manage dependencies and relations between the various options.
Before starting to work on that from scratch, I thought I'd ask this question here and give it a shot. I already researched myself for already present code, all I found is modules that are available for CMSs, and maybe one standalone code, but all commercial. I'd rather do it myself and not throw money away.
So, if anyone came across such a thing in the past, or has a good idea, please let me know.
Thanks!
