    Default Changing variant look on product page

    What we want to do is to change the design of product detail page a bit.. (We have the source code)

    Rather than showing size/color values in dropdown, we'd like to show them in a prettier way like the following examples..

    Name:  example2.jpg
Views: 94
Size:  4.5 KBName:  example1.jpg
Views: 95
Size:  8.2 KB

    What is the simplest way to do this? Or where should we begin?

    Default RE: Changing variant look on product page

    I would begin by determining how you would like to manage the color images in the backend. Some of the questions you may want to consider are:
    • How do we want to upload color images?

    • Will a given color be consistently represented throughout all products? For example, will “Dark Green” on product A be the same “Dark Green” for product B?
      • If not, how do we want to associate color images with a given product?




    The front end wouldn’t be too difficult to complete.

    If it wouldn't be too difficult to complete the front-end, how would we do it?

    Default Front End Changes

    In short: use client side scripts to manipulate the existing cart objects (drop-downs). Exactly what to do depends on how you will be managing the backend and other factors as well.

    I was asking because you said it was simple. But I fell for the bait and you swooped right in.
