Additive Attributes for Configurable Products
I've been digging though the forums and seeing this topic touched on but a solution not proposed as of yet (please correct me if one exits in Jigoshop or with a Jigoshop extension).
I need a configurable product page with additive options. I'm a boxmaker and I want my customers to be able to have something like 10 different pulldown lists for options such as "side material", "top material", "fabric lining", and so on... each one of those will have a very long list of options so variations are not a reasonable solution as they exist as I would be defining 10,000+ individual configurations.
What I need is too have the pulldown lists drive the total price dynamically as the user selects specific options in an additive/subractive way... i.e. they want Walnut sides +55, Dovetail joinery +40, and so on... and as they define the configuration the total price is adjusted accordingly.
So in Jigoshop or, some extension thereof, I'd like to define a product as "variable/customizable/configurable/etc" and then add "additive attributes" and those additive attributes simply have members that are defined by name and +/- cost.
Again, from reading the forums this seems to be a common need. Is this available someway/somehow? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Charles

I just found the add-on extension which does 90% of what I need... it doesn't dynamically update the total nor retain state when the user clicks back from the cart to the product... one of those two (preferably both) is highly needed as the user will want to change options (build different configurations) and see the varying price
