Options and Variants

Post by simpleweb » Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:53 pm

I'm using the version 7.04. I created options for color, and added images in the swatch and image field. when I go to product, and select the color from drop down box of options, I want them to change the default photo to the swatch or image inputted in the admin area. please advise.

thanks

Hello,

That's how it works, however..

If you're using swatches it should show the swatches..not a select box What's the issue you're having?
Thanks for your support

Hi Mike,

Let me explain it better. I have products that have color and length as option. The lengths have different prices but not color. I used swatches and images in color options to put the thumbnail and images of different colors and I used lengh option to enter different prices. now what I want is when shopper selects a color from drop down box, to change the product image with the one I put in swatches / images, and when they select a length change the price. is this doable?

in another matter, I added customer field product templates but not showing in the product page.

Check in the conlib reference for you product description conlib. I think there is something like ShowCustomFields="True" that you can set.

Thanks Judy. The product page already is using that. This is how product desc. is called

[[ConLib:ProductDescription ShowCustomFields="true"]]

but it doesn't show them.

If you are creating merchant template fields, they should show there. If you are creating customer template fields, they will show up at the right where the buy product fields are.
