[resolve]Combination images change with heavy lags

[miskey]

I found that when I click an combination at a dropdown list at any product page, the product images change with an obvious lag. At each click, the previous image flash and the right image does not show up until after 2-3 seconds.

 

My show domain is www.lingsmoment.com

 

Can anyone have a look at my site.

 

Thanks very much.

The cause of the lag is too much going on within drop-down change event, in a non-optimised way.

 

Find /themes/prestashop/product.tpl. Locate line:

<select name="{$groupName}" id="group_{$id_attribute_group|intval}" onchange="javascript:findCombination();{if $colors|@count > 0}$('#wrapResetImages').show('slow');{/if};">

 

Change to:

 

<select name="{$groupName}" id="group_{$id_attribute_group|intval}" onchange="javascript:findCombination();">

 

Caveat: You will lose 'Display all pictures' which appears when a specific combination is selected (attached). Your call which one you want to live with.

 

Note to developers:

onchange="javascript...? This is not 1985. What happened to $('...').bind('change'...? And there is a spurious semi-colon at the end of that line.
