With the release of MTO 1.0.0 we now have the ability to add our own plugins to this plugin. It has sort of become a meta-plugin for people wishing to have a custom pricing system in Magento. Too often I hear complaints about having to setup thousands of SKUs in Magento just to offer the variations in products that you offer right now.

No more adding options and SKUs and prices to your back-end. Now your HTML designer can pretty much design a custom product from the ground up with very little PHP.

Before version 1.0.0 MTO was all about 3 dimensional sales - the original purpose of the module was to sell air filters. But now it has migrated to a generic housing for any custom products.

Inside the "etc/config.xml" file of MTO 1.0.0 you can now specify your own helpers for pricing logic and line item detail customization.

The MTO module allows users to enter in specific dimensions for any product and that information is saved to the line item in the order. Highlighted features include:

• Plug-in support for your own price calculations
• Plug-in support for your own line_item_detail creation
• Ranged dimensions
• Supports ordering in quantity multiples (order by the case) (6,12,18,24....)
• Fractional inch support (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc.)
• Supports metric system (everything is in CM)
• Ajax dynamic price update
• XML based dynamic price rules
