Yeah, I'm the one who drived the dev of this indeed. Currently we need to 
polish some stuff (while a drivate is in prod in a large company), and I lack 
of time so you better have you hands dirty when integrating it. hopefully I can 
improve it a bit, make installation/basic conf more straightforward. Smile will 
continue supporting the bridge, it's just that we should serve our real 
customers first (and there are lots), just like any company. But any help is 
welcome.


Currently OpenERP does generate a product.product object per variant 
combination (it's required as stock levels should be different). But if on the 
contrary what you want is a customization at every order (or a combination of 
both), then the second module we are developping is more or less what you would 
need.

As for the Magento side (I know less), you seem to tell that Magento will also 
need one variant instance per combination. Fine. Then I guess Magento should 
offer a product configurator too to select the right variant (I'm not sure they 
have this. They have product properties but it could be different, not sure, 
can you tell me?).

When you have a product variant configurator in your e-commerce (be it 
Magento), then you select a variant (+eventual customization properties). Then 
your order will have the right Magento variant (+ extra properties) so OpenERP 
will find out what is the right corresponding variant in OpenERP. Only extra 
customization properties (you would need that?) aren't passed currently.

Now, if Magento has such a product configurator, I guess OpenERP should push to 
Magento the available dimensions+values per product template. This is not done 
currently. I don't think that would be too difficult, but need to be done.

The firts thing is to determine what data model is required for a Magento 
configurator to tell him the dimensions + values. Magento tend to have a crappy 
data model (everything is the same god table), so I'm not how this should be 
done (or must be done). But it would be very nice and push things forward if 
you can tell us. Then I can help out when you need to design the webservice.


@souhaib.douass,

sorry I don't get your point. Did you tried the last versions or could your 
explain more?



Thanks,
hopefully we push this forward including with our Magento bridge.
