psychosonicsid Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi all,On the older version of PS on the products page - you used to be able to assign an image to the attribute and then when the customer selected the appropriate attribute the image appeared in the bigger box above.On the back office the ability to add images to attributes still appears to be there, they just don't appear to change according to attribute selection...I haven't been able to get this working on the last few versions and wondered if it had been dropped or if I have made a mistake somewhere on my theme? If it has been dropped does anyone have a work around to add it back in?Many thanksPsychosonicsid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'm able to do it on my site. Check out: http://socksnovelty.com/13-beagle-socks-crew.html. Is this what you mean? If so, I can tell you percisely how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Okay, here's what you do. First, I am using 1.0.0.8 so I don't know about the earlier versions. Some of this may be obvious, but I will say it anyways, not to insult your intelligence but to make sure we are on the same page. LOL. First of all, create a new product and fill in as necessary the info under the 1. INFORMATION section. When done, upload the pictures that will change by the attribute in 2. IMAGES section. In 3 ATTRIBUTES, you must select what attributes will decide what picture. Make sure you have already created the proper lists in catalog -> attributes and groups. If you have already done this, they should appear in the drop down attributes list. Now, if you want, for example, for the color to decide what image shows up, you should select color, then what ever colors you have selected in the list, then click ADD. So, at this point you should have for example, "color: black" in the box. Next, go down to image, and assign the image that you want to show up for this attribute when the customer selects this on the product page. Then click ADD ATTRIBUTE. Viola! Repeat for each color. Hope that helps, let me know if you still have trouble, and thanks for the comment on my socks! I've been working hard on it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychosonicsid Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi again,I am still playing with the templates and CSS on V1 install. I still have a few problems to sort out - On the products page I am trying to get the thumb nail images right across the centre column and the buy box just below. Due to the excessive length of the attributes I have to use this is the only way to get around the problem with IE cutting off the attribute mid flow. Will get there in the end...http://www.hipheadcollars.net/Psychosonicsid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Nice job on the CSS! It wasn't easy for me, it took me forever to change the accessories area into what I wanted. I still have to change my look from the default template, but afraid to do it right now. LOL Keep with it. Hi again,I am still playing with the templates and CSS on V1 install.

psychosonicsid Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 If you think thats bad - my business is flags of the world www.buy-flags.co.uk currently running on Osc with around 1500 products - I have just added 200 or so different table flags - how boring........ Beer is good, though tends to cause problems with the CSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 He he, beer and CSS don't mix to well, you're right. Nice job on the flag shop in oscommrce, getting away from that default blue theme is oh so necessary. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxinna Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 hi, i have a problem that i cannot figure out how to fix.i've just upgraded to 1.2 PS and i've done all the neccessary steps in backoffice to add the color attributes to each picture of my product but on the front page when i mouse over the color it doesn't change to the picture i assigned to it.it used to work just fine in 1.1 PS not it doesn't anymore.another problem i have is when i upload a new theme and switch to the new one, in backoffice when i add a product i cannot imput the titles and some type areas are missing so i can't add a product at all without them .... this always happens when i switch to ANY (compatible) new theme. I've found a suitable one , to what i need, but i cannot use it. why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
