Maybe this question was asked before...

I've got a nail polish at a certain price, but I need to "Show" or "Display" about 50 different colors for this product.

My question is: How can I place 50 different pictures for the same item, so the buyer can actually "see" the color to choose ? (of course without creating 50 different items)...

Hi, I would use color swatches similar to the example below. You can upload multiple images for a product. One image could depict the nail polish bottle and the other 4 could feature color swatches of available products, perhaps grouped by color palette or themes.

You can do this, but right now there is a limit of five. If you look to the right of the program (after you have selected your item) you will see a list of options. That is one of two screen options - click the other tab for the advanced or additional options. At the bottom of that tab you will see the option for adding extra options for your product. Simply title it colors, then list the four color options. It appears to the shopper as a drop down menu where they can select their colors or whatever additional options you put in there.

By the way. I believe the pro version (when it is released) will give you more flexibility in this area.

You could use the insert html code on the product description and add an image, linked to a popup window showing all the colors or different bottles. I think you could even make it pop a lightbox with the proper relink target. I would have to play with it some.

Dave, I like the lightbox option if you figure it out.

Good idea, Dave! Earlier, on another thread, S. Cornelius pointed to colorbox as the underlying code for the egg hunt. It ought to be able to be adapted to the nail polish dilemna, among other things.

just passin by again.. I will play with it in the next day or so and report back.

I also like the color and opacity settings in the js file. But you have to edit them or load your edited js file after saving for server. I have changed the frame and controls too.. css stuff.
My store project is still waiting on the client or I would show an example of how neat it looks.
I have played with lightbox a little on my D6 test site, davebeall.com

Open an image using the lightbox-colorbox from the product detail page




I got timed out

This would most probably work on any shopping page and could also be used on any web page if the css and js files are linked to the page, but I haven't played with that part---
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://example.com/shop/css/colorbox.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/shop/js/jquery.js"></script>

thanks for the update, Dave. I'd like to play around with this when this egg madness is over and I've made up for some lost time.

Why not use Google Picasa to set up a collage page, with all 50 colors as individual pictures within the one collage, then just save the collage page, as one picture?
