dynamic image

Postby Don Lundell » Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:29 pm

Does anyone know if it's in Shopsite's plans, or if anyone's implemented
the ability to display dynamic images based on the pull-down from ordering
options? In particular, I'm thinking of a garment where the item is the
same and the color/fabric is different -- to have it change based on the
pull-down.

Short of that, how do people deal with an article of clothing that has
a number of different colors? (without using OrderAnywhere)

Here are a couple of non-Shopsite examples, one without roll-overs:

one with:

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This is all done with javascript so it should be possible to do within a
ShopSite template. You just need the images in your store media
directory and some way to determine which one to load when a certain
option is selected. You could look at the javascript from those two
pages and use that. Also in the backoffice of ShopSite you might
checkout the javascript in the Theme selection area to see how the
sample images are updated from the dropdown list for each theme.
