Hi, I'm evaluating OFBiz for an online shop that shall also provide plissees (s.th. like http://plissees.com/).
For the plissee configuration we want to create/integrate a custom product configurator, and I'm wondering how the product data, prices and the users product configuration would be represented in the existing OFBiz structures (db, object model) and how this would be integrated in the cart / checkout process / order confirmation. Here are some more details... We have prices in some excel sheet like this: producttype,pricegroup,carriers,minwidth,maxwidth,minheight,maxheight,price e.g. producttype: vs2 pricegroup: 1 carriers: 4 minwidth: 1000 maxwidth: 1100 minheight: 1600 maxheight: 1700 price: 90 There are ~50.000 lines / prices (many for a single producttype, pricegroup and carriers and with changing width/height/price data). The workflow in the custom product configurator includes these steps: The user selects the product type, specifies width/height, selects the plissee color and material (which determines the pricegroup), and as well the track color. See e.g. http://www.raumtextilienshop.de/plissee/plissee-konfigurator.asp or here http://plissees.com/index.php?p=Plissees_GeradeFormen to get an idea how it might look like. Our product configurator then would map this selection to one of the stored prices (some kind of product?) to determine the price. The users product configuration shall be displayed in the shopping cart / checkout process / order confirmation. I read https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Products but I still don't see what would be the best solution for our case. The actual questions that I have/see: - How would our existing prices from the excel sheet be represented in OFBiz? - What kind of products would we manage? - How is the users product configuration associated with a order item and how is it represented in the shopping cart / checkout / order confirmation. - As the product configurator shall provide a selection of plissee color / material (like here http://plissees.com/?step=1&ProdukteigenschaftsId=1&Stoffart=153 or here http://www.raumtextilienshop.de/plissee/plissee-konfigurator.asp) would these be represented as products (what kind of?) itself with properties like color, quality, material, lighttransmission etc.? - Is there any other documentation I should read to get a better understanding of all this? I'd be happy to get some advice to see if/how we can achieve this with OFBiz. TIA && cheers, Martin
