Swap product images on attribute change

Hi everybody,

I an trying to achieve the following functionality:

1. show attributes as images
2. change main product image when clicking on attribute-image

I could not find any mods for that. Is there any "reasonably" simple way of doing this?

Thanks

Andy

It is in the downloads/other section -
Try looking here Swap Image

Pop Up on Attribute Images may be of use to you.

As for actually showing the attributes as images - you add those through the attribute controller page...down towards the bottom.

it is not exactly what i was looking for as the idea is to change images based on different attributes, rather than clicking on multiple product images. it looks as the easiest way would be to modify DrByte's code for swap images - replace images on the attribute dropdown onChange event and do not show multi thumbnails

If you succeed, I'm sure other people would be interested, so please consider adding it as a contribution to the Downloads section

Hi Andy,

Did you get anywhere with this? It's exaclty what I need too, but I can't seem to find a cont. that does what I want.
I'd be interested to hear how you got on.

Has anyone had any luck wit this?

I just came across on OSCommerce site that has this feature and came here to find out if Zen cart had this as well.

http://www.newforbaby.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=170#

It uses javascript to change the image as well as the attribute on click.

It is almost one and a half years since the last post?

Any progress. I am just setting up a site with 1.3.8 now, and am looking for the exact same thing:

on the product page - to change the main product image based on attributes (that are images).

Thanks for any updates.

I can't seem to find a simple solution to this. I just can't believe that there isn't a mod out there to make this happen. This is such a really basic feature that should be there "out of the box". Did I miss it somewhere?

I just want to be able to change the color attribute on a product and have a js flip of the product image. Help!

If this is so "Basic" - - Who has this out of the box?

Well the only cart that I've got lots of experience with is x-cart and lite commerce. Both have it. I'm not sure who else does. It just seems like there are so many items that would require this feature.

How about Open Source??

One can add any functionality to this OpenSource Cart..

Try
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=311
using extra product images to show colours

misty,

Same as I posted in #2

Same as I posted in #2
Swap images not quite same as popup images though...
:wink:

misty,
same link
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=311

Quite correct Kobra..was looking at link Ryk posted..
:oops:

Thanks for the info.

By the way, http://www.prestashop.com does have this feature and is OS. OS Commerce has a simple mod to make it work as well.

I appreciate Zen Cart's features and that it's totally open source. If I switch to it, I'll be adding several features to it and offering them to the community.

I think the topic is going off.....

There is no reason to debate why ZC should NOT have a feature requested. Alrite so someone wants something that is not available yet, then if that is correct just tell him so.

And the missing feature, will be added later by someone who really needs it and code it, or pay someone else to code it.
Since this is opensource, no one really go and code features they dont need or dont use themselves.

So I guess there is still no answer to the original question.

Bummer.

If anyone finds a thread with some info please direct.

Thanks
