Hello good extension, but I can not install it on joomla 1.5
Is it possible to make changes on this extension for compatibility with joomla 1.5

It's work only for VM 2 and Joomla 2.5
If you want we can develop extention special for you for Joomla 1.5

What's the best way to contact the developer for support on this?  I mentioned it to a few people on LinkedIn as a possible solution, as they were looking for a color selector, and they've all said they are having trouble getting it working and getting support.

Let me know what to advise - thanks!

now you cannot publish (or public as it put in the component)  it says it is but doesnt turn green or show on the product list page.

Hi! Sorry cant give access to the site (security reasons), there are no errors it just wont publish (turn green)

by the way what is "Input color custom field ID" for exactly?

[adham]

Ok I got it sort of working, uninstalled and did another install, assigned a custom field ID (which was never mentioned in the PDF tutorial)  anyway, 2 things first the image you add in the  component is not showing on the front end (uses default VM no image) CSS is all messed up.
After digging around found that using the VM default image custom fields works the same (if not better) again it is all maybe due to the lack of basic explanation to the component.
Maybe it needs a specific custom field type?

Also the component cannot be uninstalled (it just stays there).

update: Some colours still dont want to publish, you have to go in and out few times to make it work, some colours do straight away some dont (All at random)

Hope this helps you "fix" or explain the errors.
Cheers!

1) Uninstall will be fixed.
2) We tell about custom field in PDF manual
3) "Some colours still dont want to publish" - pls give demo

[adham]

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.
I looked in the PDF file there was no mention of the custom field, not sure if there is another one, I got the one on your website.
Regarding the colour that wont publish, for example I have red in the colour options, on product one it wont publish no matter how many times you click on it, on product 2 it poblish with no problem, very strange lol, but I guess there is a "glitch" somewhere.
Also noticed, that if you delete colours, they wont be removed from the product, they just stay there (even after I go into the product and manually delete them).

Last, it would be great if you can a mouse over tool tip if there is an extra charge for certain colours, it does work and adds the price, but it would be nice if we can let the customer know that there is an extra charge. Also adding a select all button to colour publishing would be great to save time when you have like 100 colours.

Thank for the effort
P. S I can help you make a pdf tutorial if you want.
Cheers!

Hello,

I have in my store parent and subsidiary products. I would like that when the user clicks on the color of the product page so that it's redirected to that subsidiary product and so on. You could do something like this? thank you

In the demo on your site after clicking on a color change prices and how to do so in order to work?

thank you

2 major bugs with your color plugin for virtuemart at the checkout.

Hi!
First let me thank you for your unique solution, it's very useful.

I use it here:
http://funkycyclewear.com/products/men/short-sleeve-jerseys

But there are 2 major bugs with your plugin at the checkout.

The first one:
As you can see in my site I'm also using another Custom Field type: "Cart Variant" for the shirt size.

When I go to the checkout your plugin runs over the shirt's size and it's not visible at the checkout although it is registered at the back office of virtuemart.

The second one:
At the back office of virtuemart I can see that the color of the product purchased is in hexadecimal code and not the color itself.


I would very much appreciate if you can resolve this bugs.

Thank you very much.

Harel.

Trying to achieve something familiar, I came upon this thread. I've installed the component and plugin and got it partially working. Just like some others have had in this thread, the images don't change when selecting a corresponding color (while the price does change!). Did anyone solve this already?
I've emailed the developer(s), but didn't get any reaction yet. Too bad, because this extension seems really promissing and exactly what we need.

Besides the image-change-problem, would it be possible to add an 'alt-text' and/or 'title' to each color? And I'm wondering if we could adjust this extension so that we could use it for sizes also, like in this example: http://www.tricorp.com/?catalogcategory/12120472772383/T145.aspx&catalog=5

Still trying to get this working...

When selecting a color, the image still doesn't show. Firebug shows this error:

Fout: TypeError: jsdb[id_chekbox] is undefined

This is referring to:

Code Select Expand

var jsdb = {"138":["images\/stories\/virtuemart\/product\/t145-yellow.jpg"]};
function setColor(id_chekbox, pr_id, customprice, arraykey) {
document.getElementsByName(customprice)[0].value=id_chekbox;
if (!(typeof Virtuemart !== "undefined" && Virtuemart)) {
Virtuemart = jQuery;
}


Virtuemart.setproducttype(jQuery("form.js-recalculate"),pr_id);

for (var i = 0; i < arraykey.length; i++)
{
document.getElementById('vmcolora'+arraykey[i]).className='color_system';
}
document.getElementById('vmcolora'+id_chekbox).className='color_system color_system_activ';
//alert(jsdb[id_chekbox].length);
//alert(jsdb[id_chekbox][jsdb[id_chekbox].length-1]);

if(jsdb[id_chekbox][jsdb[id_chekbox].length-1])
{
document.getElementById('medium-image').src="/"+jsdb[id_chekbox][jsdb[id_chekbox].length-1];
}
}
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$("a .color_system_activ").click();
});

The developer of this component still didn't reply to any of my messages, and since 2 days his website is down. I guess I'm not going to get a reaction anymore...
So please, can anyone here tell me how to adjust this javascriptcode so it will work properly? Thanks.
