Title: Question about possibility
Post by: DrAg0nBoY on February 06, 2015, 11:18:25 AM
Hello,

first sorry for my english. Well now about my question. Is in virtuemart something like that possible: http://cosi-nails.de/UV-Polishgel-12ml_1

I am talking about the more variations option with pictures and everything? I would really like to have pictures when choosing something and not just a drop down menu option.

That would be my question for now, but I do have some other questions.

With kind regards,
DrAg0nBoY

What a dreadful template colour! You could build something like that with VirtueMart, but it is complicated, and would depend on your programming skills or that you have a large enough budget to commission a developer.

Also he could use the image custom fields

Well I am not using the template color or anything. I would just like to know if I could build something like that (like having pictures under the product and when clicking on them the product displays). Just like it is on that site.

balai a question about the image custom fields. Do I have any control on the pictures then? I mean can a customer click on the image and the right product appears? Just like at the page I linked in the first post?

Thanks for your help.

He can click on the image but it does not update the product's main image. Exepct if you do the necessary modifications to do that

Oh well that then does not help me at all, because I have no idea how to do something like that ...

Another question, not related to that one. If I want an option for Costumers who bought that, bought also I will need an extension for that, right?

Yes you need a plugin for that option.

the other images under the main are just links to other products - I guess you can do some sort of display of all the products in the current category under each product - but would require some templating skill

jenkinhill thank you for your answer.

GJC Web Design yeah I figured that much. Well I am bad at coding so that means I won't be doing that.

I do have another problem now. I have already 62 products on my page. It is the same product, just different variations of it. Now if I need to change the price I need to change it individualy right? The only way to avoid something like that is to make a parent product and then spawn 62 child products from it, right? Now is there a simple way to turn my existing products into child products of an existing product or no?

I think that would be my last question :).

edit: Ok another question. I want to put some products with a discount. Is there an option that the buyer sees the original price and then the new discounted one? So that the buyer knows the price is discounted. Thanks

if the price you want to change is the same every where google mysql search replace - then do it directly in the DB

Thanks but when I finish the page, I will not be editing it anymore (the page is not for me).

Well the other question I had after a quick edit in my previous post:

I think the time you spend writing these questions could be better spent getting your hands dirty and experimenting a little with your site...
Of course there are discounts etc .. play with them - see what they do...

And all will have previously been written here in the forum. Search is useful, as is studying a site with VM default products (examples)  installed.
