I have a website with customizable computers and I am having the hardest time making it look decent and at the same time working easily and effectively.
I solved the problem of having to modify every product options by using associated products. But unfortunately using associated products I can't use a zero value for the default products in the bundles. Is there any way to make it show 0 for the default option and the other ones with plus and minus values.
Also something else too. The customizable products with the associated options have a price of 0, which is no nice to look at, so I'd like to resolve this two issues.
Can you set the price of the base item to the sum of the prices of the default parts, then set the default price of the default parts to zero, and the price of the options to be the difference between the default part price and usual price of the option part?
The only drawback with this approach is that you cant then sell the individual part individually since their prices will all be setup as modifiers to a base price. You could duplicate the products if you need to sell them individually but it would potentially make stock management tricky.
I used this method at first but it was very time consuming and inefficient. I need to make it this way so I only change the product price just once and not 16 times, or more depending on how many new products I will input.
Because if I set the price to 0 and let's assume option 1 is default and costs 10$ and option 2 costs 20$, if I leave the default value to 0, I get +20$ at option 2, not +10 which is what I want to achieve. :/

Yeah that's what I was getting at when I said to set the "price of the options to be the difference between the default part price and usual price of the option part". So in this case the price for option 2 is $20 - $10 = $10.
So the base price of the bundle product is $10 with a +$0 modifier for option 1 (=$10)... ...and if the user select option 2 it adds $10 to get $10 + $10 = $20. Then any bundle product that includes option 1 as it's default can use option 2 with a +$10 modifier.
Like I said it prevents you selling the option parts as an individual products (unless you create a duplicate product with the full $20 price). I guess it also falls apart pretty quickly if you have lots of bundle products that start with different default options but need to include option 2.
