Color Chooser

Permalink
Does anyone out there know of an add-on like thishttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/imageclothing-switcher/... that actually works?

If not.. Can anyone out there build one? I have two clients that absolutely have to have this feature.

it depends on how you want the color chooser functionality to work, I think it would end up being a custom attribute. Please mock up how you envision it working and send it my way, a zooming image vs a color chooser are two entirely different animals :)

The zooming image would be cool.. but all I really need is the ability to attach multiple images of the same product in different colors and have the main picture of the image change to whatever color is selected.

custom product attribute, it's probably a half days worth of work.

And what does that equate to in dollars?

You can send it to joel@agenity.com if you'd prefer.

Thank you!

This is exactly how I would envision it..

It would be fantastic if it could simply add it to the cart after clicking on it.. And if this add on could simply pull images from the additional images in the ecommerce add-on.. That would be even better.

Well you do need something, anything to relate the colors of the shirt to the main product image.

This could be something as simple as the order of the custom attribute's color swatches you are showing and the additional images you have added, but that seems a touch clunky as those are potentially still handled in two different screens. You'll need the custom attribute anyways to manage the swatches so you might as well just handle all of this in one area :)

So yeah probably easier to simply just do a swatch-> model in the shirt and the optional really large image of the model in the shirt if you want that zoom larger bit OR you could still only have two images, but the zoom in image is sized down like the image on the left in the gap sales site.

I wrote something that was kind of like this and it ended up being about 10-14 hours, it might end up being less but probably closer to 12 than 6. While i work with concrete5 every single day I don't write custom product attributes every single day - so I am admittedly a bit rusty on it.

I did implement a custom product attribute that did sizing inventory and prices and had a bunch of other stuff. It's a shame the site went away. The two founders I believe had some problems unrelated to the site itself :)

Also clicking the color to add to cart should be pretty easy, and this assumes you don't want or need inventory per size and disabling options and all of that. It gets complex pretty quickly :). I would suggest if you are missing a color you just mark it as in-active or something and it wouldn't be shown on the block display.

check out the product multi inventory addon. you could combine that with the image switcher and also get separate inventory.

I can't find Multi Inventory, have you removed it?
My client really wants what your addon has to offer, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Hello,
all RadiantWeb products have been abandoned and removed from the marketplace.

If you are using Concrete5 5.6.3.4 and below, an alternative is Mesuva's improved stock control level.

You can read about it here:http://www.mesuva.com.au/blog/concrete5/improved-stock-level-contro...
And the code is here:https://github.com/Mesuva/core_commerce_stock_control...

If you are using the new version of Concrete5 5.7 and above, just use the eCommerce Plugin Community store that already has that kind of stock management included and is by far superior.

You can find the latest version here: https://github.com/concrete5-community-store/community_store/tree/v1...
