How to change the color of a product by selecting the color atribute?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I will sell wall stickers, so, if a client want to choose another color from black, he had the option to click on the color atribute.

If he does that, although the atribute it will be specified on the order, visually, it doesn't happen anything...

 

So, is there a way, to actually change the color of product pe clicking the color atribute?

 

PS: Does anybody knows some modules for that?

 

Thanks.

1st upload to the product all the images for all the colors.

After that go to your product (in BO) and assuming you have combination setup for the product, press combination, you will see all the available combinations for the product, just press the edit button next to each color and choose which image to assign to that color, also you can choose which image will be the main image for the product and which color/image will be 1st.

 

You don't need a special module for this, this is prestashop default

Thanks, I will do that... until I find a better solution.

 

Why it can't be this one the best: I sell wal stickers. I will start with more than 1.000 models and hope to reach 10.000 in one year. Every model it can be done in 50 culours....So, for 1.000 i should upload 50.000 .png's... :(

 

Was hopping to find a better solution...

 

Thank you.

I thought, something like that:

1. working with .png transparency

2. establish something like a layer, or a mapped zone

3. inside that zone, the colour be changed with the color picker (or better by clicking on my color atributes...)

 

An advantage is that all my models are vectors. 90% of them have just one colour.

I am looking at that also, but again... you still need to create all those layers/png's whatever and you still need to upload them either via product or that module.

 

All you stickers are different with different design/image/shape and there is no magic trick to get the layer beside creating it for each individual product.

 

I am not even sure if that module will save you any time, but maybe I am wrong, try to contact the creator and see if its for your needs.

 

I know that Tomerg3 is one of prestashop finest.

Thank you, I will do that.

I hope that it function more like i said and less on .png for every color/product....

 

My idea was:

 

1. in the same way , in the back office you can change the colour atribute with the pick colour, to change a background of imageblock product

2. in the image block to insert a negativ transparency model.

 

So, although the image is the same and the background is changing, for the client it will seem exacty the opposite...

 

It doesn't seem so hard, in words... :))

 

 

Thanks.

This seems to be the perfect answer. it does what i want, plus background...

Only to work on prestashop 1.5.4

 

PS: The last time when I bought a modul from prestashop, and i had problems, they answered in matter of days, and finnally when i asked if there is a refund clause, nobody answered anymore...

 

But I really want that module, so probably I'll give a try...

 

Thanks.

There is good advice from one other forum member about that - to contact developer before purchase to see how support is.

Also if you have some issues with modules, give a chance to developers to try to fix them before asking for refund.

And you can post also in Addons sub-forum.

I already did send them a mesage, because, at least from the presentation page it is compatible with max 1.5.3, and I have 1.5.4...

 

Of course i did that, but 2 answers in 5 days, and from my last answer to the developer has passed 17 days, and still no answer. ( in the same time i bought a ssl certificate, and my internet provider installed wrong, so i bought another...imagine my surprize when i was contacted by the ssl provider and after asked me what happened, they returned the money - although, practically it was my / mine provider's mistake, and I don't event thought to ask them that).

 

So, it is about respect. Even there are not lot of money, still I paid the modules from my work...But I guess, I am off topic, I'm sorry.

 

Hope I can install the module you you indicated.

 

Thanks.

I received an answer.

It is compatible with 1.5.4.

It does what i want and it is neccesay only one image /per product. Yoy can change both background and the image colours.

I bought and installed it.

 

Still, are a few problems (a not very fair play one is that they have a direct link to the developer site exactly one the simulator from my product page... :)) ). I sent qouestion to the developer.

The colorize module solved my problem.

I, with help from forum, solved the incovenients.

 

I still have one big problem: on my product page ( where client can play with colors) is a big "configurateur visuel" link directly to the site of developer.

 

I passed by all files from modules several times, but I couldn't find anything about that. Only 2 files I couldn't open, .swf...

 

I hope i will get an answer soon from Addons, I have already 22 hours of hard waiting...:))

There must be a module like this but for free.

If not there must be a way to code it yourself.

Anyone have a clue?
