Step by Step - Product Configurator - new extension

For a client I am working on a product configurator. With this configurator my clients customers can follow a step by step process where they configure a product completely. The extensions gives the admin full control over what steps a customer has to follow with each individual product. The control is done from within each product editor, so each product editor (in the admin) gets an extra tab, where they can add steps (name them, set up the order) and options to each step.

In addition to that the product gets a custom lay out in the frontend. The options are dependent, have their own image, 100 char. description, there is a smooth transition between steps and options can be easily added or removed. also the total price will change automatically.

After steps are finished, checked you can add the product to your cart.

I thinking of putting it on sale for others to use, because it extends the standard opencart system tremendously. So I Have to make sure it works on 1.5.2. and up. If you are interested let me know! :)

thanks for the comments. still working on it. i'm fixing some bugs. especially dependent options is still an issue in the front end. expect to have it finished in a week or two :)
what i have so far:
dependent options in backend, with support for checkbox and radio;
step by step + custom names for each step;
list of selected options;
auto price update.

i put it up for sale when fully tested and working, so @oscprofessionals it will be commercial, mostly because i want to give support

For anyone looking for just dependent options I have a mod available for this already. It can be found in the extension store under Dependent Options lr through the link in my signature.

HELLO!
@rph: your module is interesting, but from my perspective something completely different than what ad1984 is going to create.

@ad1984: I am very interested in this process oriented product configurator! Is there already something to see? Please get in touch!

Thanks, Dan

Hello,
I received an email from one of you and I think I will be able to launch within a week or two. It might need a little bug fixing afterwards but i hope version 1.0 will already be a great addition to your webshops.

The features working and tested so far:

Custom override for the standard product layout;
Multiselect dependent options working with radio buttons and checkboxes;
Options have individual descriptions and prices;
Steps can be individually named;
Number of steps ca reach from 1 to infinite (but i guess it will be max 6);

Works with 1.5.3.1 and up (but still needs testing on other OC versions)

Screenshots follow soon

If you are interested in the extension please send me a PM! ;)

Hi guys,

I am still fixing a lot of bugs as you can see in the preview image I attached. Putting a lot of effort in the user (especially admin) friendliness of the extension.
Hope it will be ready in two weeks.

Regards!

Just a question. Will this extension also include a automatic calculator so that you can see the price changing while you configure your product?

In your demo I don't see the "total price" update as you select items. Assume this is a bug.

Also, customers will want to see an admin demo as well.
