Display characteristics in category view

We want to implement the function mentioned in forum message www.hikashop.com/fr/forum/4-how-to/66086...gory-view.html#66086

We started working on a webshop with clothing and underwear. Each product comes in different sizes and only the sizes that are really on stock needs to be displayed in the product view. That is easy through characteristics and the option "Display out of stock products YES/NO".
But to be able to quickly order products and see what size is on stock we need to display this characteristics on the category view. Saves a lot of clicking to each product view !!!

Example can be found at www.blaasinstrumentenwinkel.nl/22/access...k/mondstuk-alt-hoorn and but as we do not want to use virtuemart or oscommerce, this needs to be implemented into hikashop.

I need characteristics to be displayed in the category view so visitors can see the sizes to choose from and directly add that to their shopping cart. The screenshot displays the category view in table format.


WHO CAN HELP ? What will it cost to create this ? How much time will it take to create this ?

Does this mean that no programmer has time to do this ?
Because it seems that this change will benefit the whole hikashop community and can easily be added to the base hikashop package.
