[SOLVED] Display color name under color picker box?

[venom2506]

Hello, I'm in need of some help again. I am now required to have the name of the color attributes show under their boxes (like, under a box with the color yellow, it shows the name I've chosen in the back office, the same that already appears in the tooltip).

Could someone give me pointers as for how to do that? I already have an inkling of where it should go, in product.tpl, in there:

<li><a id="color_{$id_attribute|intval}" class="color_pick" style="background: {$color.value};" onclick="updateColorSelect({$id_attribute|intval});$('#wrapResetImages').show('slow');" title="{$color.name}">{if file_exists($col_img_dir|cat:$id_attribute|cat:'.jpg')}<img src="{$img_col_dir}{$id_attribute}.jpg" alt="{$color.name}" width="20" height="20" />{/if}</a></li> 

and I should use "$color.name" as the variable to display said name, but the syntax kinds of elude me, so any help would be welcome.

 

Thank you very much.

try to use {$color.name} 

use it before </li> code

[venom2506]

Just that? Anyway I tried it, it does not seem to work. I also tried with an echo, but to no avail.

after modifications in tpl files please recompile theme

[venom2506]

It's already set, as I keep editing tpl files, so that can't be it. I even tried emptying the cache, no good.

your website is online?

can you share url if so?

[venom2506]

Unfortunately not, I'm working for a company, and they haven't provided a means or the authorisation to put it online yet. I could provide the tpl, but I doubt that would be enough?

[vekia]

take a look:

 

i used just: {$colors.$id_attribute.name} variable

[venom2506]

Mmh, my job's firewall blocking the picture. I'll check it at home tonight, thank you. For the time being, unfortunately, this didn't work either. Should it go in a php tag or something? Well, I tried in a php tag and it didn't work, so my question is kindda pointless :/

 Well I attached my tpl file, it's been modified a bit, if you have the time to check it, maybe there's something in there that prevents the change.

It works fine with your version. I honestly don't know what I did wrong, it looks the same as what I tried. Ah well, thanks a lot anyway, it really was driving me mad.

Would be great if color name only appears for the color selected by the user, I think that kind of behaviour improves aesthetics and usability. ¿Don't you?

Anybody knows how to make it display the color name next to "Color" when you click on the square? I agree with the comment above that it would make more sense to display the color name only when it's picked. Plus it would look better than the mod above.

This is an important feature considering that there are so many dark shades (black, dark brown, dark gray, etc) that you won't be able to see the difference if the monitor settings are low.

Hi,

 

Did you find a solution to display color name only for selected colors ?

 

As you said, normal behavior should be > Color: Black when black square selected ...and so on...

 

Thank you,

[Gubik]

Hi have you solved it? if yes please tell me how i want to do same
