I kicked myself for not mentioning the update button anywhere in step 14 (install doc). If the dependency editor is showing every product in your catalog then please make sure you have selected an osCommerce product category for each of your builder component categories, out of the box these are not set so you need to change them (even if they appear correct) - then make sure you hit the 'update' button.
When you're in the dependency editor the products at the top represent the visitors current (selected) choice for a previous category, the products down the left represent the options that are available for the current category. That's not enough to limit the choices though, you need to get into the 'Dependency editor' to define the individual product/component relationships. The builder categories screen in admin has a 'Dependence Category' field or each builder category - this tells the builder which category it is dependent on. The latter was a much easier development path but the former would have made this a truly awesome contrib. In fact when I started out with this contrib I had to decide whether to use 'parametric dependence' or 'pre-defined dependence'. that's what the dependence is for, but if you wanted the builder to have, let's say, parameters that it could intelligently select the right options then that's way beyond this one.
It would be much simpler if it worked at category level though, i.e. I'm not sure how well this would work because I really haven't tested it like that, but I have provided the controls for this purpose. Or you could tell the builder (in admin) to allow disabled products in the build (and popup!) - then you would need to disable all your component products - the builder would see them but the catalog wouldn't.

I would recommend installing a contrib like 'Hide and Unhide Categories' - a very simple mod but quite a mission really because you need to modify every php file that touches the products file, if you exclude the builder php files in this mod then only the builder will be able to see the hidden categories. Something I meant to include in the installation instructions. Well done for getting it this far, really impressive!

This looks like it's going to be a really useful piece of software and I can see real possibilities for it. The Cost also appears to be missing the decimal point, if an item is £5.00 (GBP) it appears as £500 !! The Dependencies screen is currently showing every product in the shop, but really would only be needed for these specific items, is there way of "switching off" the products hat have nothing to do with the Product Builder?
Is there a way of setting the software so if someone selects a type of collar that wouldn't fit a type of neckline they wouldn't be able to select it? However, the separate parts wouldn't be something you would sell in the shop, as I see it, i need to create categories for each part, so would need a category for sleeves and a separate one for necklines? Is there a way of hiding these categories from the public? Best I can do is to hide the products within that category I would like to use this for a custom clothing store, and my idea was to be able to select different parts of an item and have the whole created for you. I've installed this and had a good fiddle around with the settings etc.Ī few questions have sprung up.
