User Selection to build a product

[ahtaylor1]

I hope someone can point me in the right direction!

I am creating a picture framing site and rather than just have all different products I want the customer to be able to build their own frame.  So they will select colour, frame and size of frame and the shop will create an image and price according to the customer selections.

Any ideas?  Should I just buy a pre made template or could I do this myself (which I would prefer to be honest as want to learn!)

Thanks

Where are the pictures that could illustrate what do you want to have?

Best to start by saying that nothing yet exists to change the images according to custom fields selections. The field selection can be done with something like this  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=117884.0  but you will need to link a custom field selector with JavaScript/css to make changes to the product image. I have no idea how to do that (I am not a programmer) so depending on your skill level you could build it yourself or commission a developer.

I think that you can use the plugin that jenkinhill suggested and also some image custom fields for changing the product's image.
For the 2nd some js should be written to do that. But i don't think its a big deal.

Thanks for the replies Guys.

The custom field plugin  is probably just what I need Jenkinhill.  Thank you!
