Hi Mark,

The archive seems to be corrupted.

Can you please check it ?

Thank you.

You know what, it was corrupted about mid-day yesterday (1:00pm EST).  But, it was fixed shortly aftewards.  Perhaps your browser is caching the download?  I think the download component sends an Expires header of 1 days forward or something similar. 

In firefox Tools > Clear Private Data > (uncheck all but “cache")

It seems like firefox (and maybe IE) are not able to handle gzip transfer-encoded gzipped content.  Very strange.

Just try again, and if it still doesn’t work, then try clearing your download cache.

Yep, downloaded with wget - and it’s ok.

I updated to 0.5.0

There are better installation instructions and it includes a fix (separately downloadable too) to make the “my cart” sidebar prices match the checkout page.

For some reason, the sidebar reloads all the products from the database to calculate the price, instead of taking the price already set in the shopping cart (sales_quote_item).  It seems like Magento likes to reload products from quote items a lot.

Dear Mark,

thank you for this module. Downloaded Version 0.5, found the step-by-step-instructions in install.files/INSTALL & it´s successfully showing up in the backend at System->Configuration-->Catalog-->Made To Order.

What are the steps to do now to make it show on a product page? How does one have to go about configureing a product with this module?

Please explain so I can understand the logic.
Thank you very much.

If you want dimensions for your product (width, height, depth) then create new attributes like

“mto_width_max”
“mto_width_min”
“mto_width_step”
etc etc

The attributes should be integer type, with integer validation, and not required.

Then attach them to an attribute set.

Then go to your product page and add values for these new attributes, like mto_width_max=1000, mto_width_min=10, mto_width_step=10

To get the products to show up on the front, copy the design/template dir into your templates folder and the design/layout/mto.xml into your layout folder.

How install please after downloading ?

@Bruno:

You´ll need some basic knowledge of Magento´s Templating/Module logic to understand what you´re doing when you want to “install” this module. Please refer to the various tutorials & screencasts on Magento´s site about this topic.

Installation: Within the downloaded & extracted file “MadeToOrder” you´ll find the instructions in “/install.files/INSTALL. The module is work in progress & from what I think, installation will become even easier For version 0.5 the instructions made by the creator Mark_Kimsal read like this:

Installation of MTO
================================================================================
1. Create the app folder:
app/code/local/Metrof

2. Copy “MadeToOrder”, included in this package, to:
app/code/local/Metrof

3. Create the template folder “madetoorder” at :
app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/madetoorder/

4. Copy all the files in design/template/ into:
app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/madetoorder/

5. Copy design/layout/madetoorder.xml to:
app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/layout/

6. Copy install.files/Metrof_MadeToOrder.xml to:
app/etc/modules/

6a. (Optional) Merge the contents of install.files/Metrof_MadeToOrder.xml into
app/etc/modules/ instead of copying.

7. Edit your pricing sheet XML line in Model/Product.php around line 226 in method getPriceXml() if you want dynamic pricing.

After that, refer to Mark´s post above or ask any questions her

I did all of the above instructions as well as double checking on the metrofindings website, and yet it does not show up in the backend configuration.  Any ideas?
