ive mentioned a few times that i was working on a product options mod and have finally got around to finishing it, or at least the majority of it (most of the time spent was making sure it was cross browser compatible , which proved to be a pain to deal with since there were so many caveats with each browser), and making a preview of it
as of now it does the following:
1. product options on products listing page
2. option modifier price difference updates (kind of like dell's component selection for their computers)
3. allows product options you define to be displayed in the cart only
4. multiple product option styles, such as the standard select dropdown, radio buttons, image selection, and checkbox
5. product option can be changed within cart page without using the javascript popup
6. in cart, product options and product quantity can be updated for an individual product
7. price updates in products listing and product page
8. disables the add to cart when options are not selected
9. images get updated for variants on products listing
10. dynamically hides exceptions so that the user wont even be able to select it to begin with
11. also will be compatible with global product options
there may be a few more things that i forgot about, but thats what i could remember off the top of my head
i just need to do a bit more testing before i release it and all the documentation for installation
here is the link to the preview (will need flash to view it, also sorry for the size of the display as i was using my laptop and forgot to change the width)
