image as a product feature

Store Builder Questions
1

I am trying to create a group of Product features that will display the number of medals a wine has won.



eg



If a wine has won these medals



Gold medals : 1

Silver medals : 2

Bronze medal : 5



i would like the features tab to display images for 1 gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze medals



I can get them to display as numbers but ideally i would like to be able to display them as images.



I have tried creating a Product feature with an Extended field and then on the product adding the url into that field unsuccessfully.



Edit: Never mind - just found varients tab on product features…

OK - the varients tab does allow me to add an image but it is not displayed. Any hints?

At the risk of looking like i’m bumping…can anyone confirm or deny that you can make an image product feature by setting type to extended and uploading a picture in variants?



anyone got a working example i can have a look at?

I have request the issue to helpdesk, and i´ve get the reply:

Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, there is no ability to set up the desired functionaluty in such a way in standard CS-Cart. Some additional code modifications are required to realize such a feature. These modifications are not covered by our technical support service. We can offer you our custom development service. Our engineers can make this feature for you on a paid basis. Please let me know if you are interested in it and I will forward your request to our custom development specialist for an estimate.

I reckon the HelpDesk gave you the old Monkey-off-the-back treatment there.

I assume you are trying to use the Extended Type for Product features, where it allows you to define Extra description and image for a Product Feature.?

Ive also been trying to do this. It seems that it just does not work. No image or html entered in the “extra” fields show up anywhere. Nowhere on the Products “Features” tab does the image or data display.

I’ve lodged a Support ticket for this also. That “custom development service” line the HelpDesk give is just in hope that you will go away until they get around to fixing the bug.

Seems to me this is a big juicy BUG… the “feature” just does not do anything accept place the feature name on the tab. Nothing else happens.



Anyone else have this issue?

You should enter this into the Bug Tracker so that it is officially dealt with as either a bug or a feature request. Since they have already responded privately, it might make the most sense to make it a feature request.



The other benefit of putting it in the Bug Tracker is that others forum members can comment on their need which allows CS-Cart the opportunity to gauge interest when deciding priorities. Post a link to the Bug Tracker post here so that others will be encouraged to add their interest/comments.

Hi there, I may have been barking up the wrong tree with this one. I may have misunderstood what you were after. If this is what you are trying to do, I will remove the BugTracker report.

HelpDesk tell me that the “Product features” feature is only for Manufacturer info and not the way to get an extra tab on a Product page.

So if you want to have additional TABs such as “Specifications” on a products page with HTML unique to the Product - heres how its done (2.0.12) …


[QUOTE]In this case you need to use the “blocks” functionality of CS-Cart.

Please follow the instruction below:


  1. Open the “Design” tab and click on the “Blocks” link.
  2. Click on the “Products” link at the top of this page.
  3. Click on the “Add block” button. In the opened window:


  4. Enter the block name (e.g. “Specifications”).
  5. Select “Unique HTML block” in the “Block content” select box.
  6. Select “Product details page” in the “Position” select box.
  7. Click on the “Create” button.


  8. Click on the “Manage products” link in the created block, select the desired product and click on its link.
  9. Open the “Blocks” tab on the product details page.
  10. Select the “Enable for this page” option for the newly created block.
  11. Click on the “Edit” link, add the desired HTML content in the opened window.



    note : also drag the position of the block to the desired tab order.[/QUOTE]



    I hope this will help you, I could not find this instruction in the kb2, but now I know… its just Brilliant !
