Hi Ally, (Please note that I changed our username to reflect what we do! ) I went and looked at that module, and yes, it does say it will change the product image. Would you like to send me a link to your site to see if I can diagnose the issue for you? You can PM if you like.

At what point do you want to create the voucher? I may have some ideas for you....

We wasted a lot of time trying to resolve before we went the route as I described. It's just the nature of the beast. For instance, a module that I won't name but is for zooming in on product images ----it downloads ALL combination thickbox images on page load, so that when the user zooms in, the image will be pre-loaded and the module looks like a hero. HOWEVER, with that many combinations and associated images, the page loads were insanely large. Just one example of how that architecture hurt us initially.....I wish you luck, and would love to hear how things go for you either way!

Hi Ally, I was under the impression that this module did not update colors, just led you to the product page. There's a debate on the effectiveness of this: it's either good because it takes the customer directly to the product page, or bad, because it does not change the image on the product list page as one might like. If you change the images on the product list page as you describe, then when I change a red t-shirt to blue, and then click through to the product page, the default image of red will show -----really confusing to a customer. I wrote my own module that puts those color picker thumbnails everywhere, but they link directly to the product instead of changing colors of the product. That method seems to work better for myself and my clients although changing the colors is cooler. Does that make sense?

You are welcome. I've often wondered about the text editor module and how one could add several blocks to PS - I could see a need for it, but have not done it myself.

Have you tried the Live Edit function in the BO? This will let you rearrange things a bit in a visual way. You are correct on the basic process: TPL files ARE template files (tpl is abbreviated for template, I believe).

Hi Scotty, It actually loads OK for me and I am in the US. Have you installed firebug to see what else may be loading?

Hello, I have created a voucher, all is set up correctly, and it does not get applied when hitting the "add" button on the FO. When I delete cookies, try it again, then the voucher is applied as expected. Running 1.4.3 Any ideas out there? Thanks!

I have a lot of experience with large numbers of combinations. For a recently developed web shop, we had custom products. Each product had at minimum 5000 combinations, and we encountered 500 server-side errors like you have. It was cumbersome to load the pages and administer. So, we ended up reducing the number of combinations per product, and having more products instead. So for instance, we had one shirt available in red, white, blue and in 8 sizes and with 20 logos available. We moved so that we had three shirts - one in red, one in white, one in blue - with the same options and that helped with performance and errors. If you are importing, go get the import fast module (just search the forum for it). Kjeld (the developer) made a great module for importing huge amounts of data - it was very nice, and let you set the default combination as well. He's fabulous.

You da man! Thank you for this excellent work.

We did something similar. We wanted to add the parent category's image to the subcategory pages, so the visitor would have more context for those subcat pages. We ended up using the $category->id_parent to get the parent ID for each subcategory, then built an image using that ID. Each subcategory has a id_parent that you can access. Try adding {debug} to the top of category.tpl and you can see the available smarty variables.

Who developed this module? I was prepared to purchase it, but the Addons site no longer has it. I like the functionality of it and would like to buy it. Hope I don't have to roll my own. Thanks everyone!

This is great to hear. I don't have a lot of time and "free" modules are not generally "free" - they can take a lot of time and energy, when what you need to do is solve a business problem without spending a lot of your precious programming hours doing so. Any of us in the modules bidness should be like I've heard you are, David.

Ah, thank you Tomerg. I was looking at the rendered content after a very long day of getting into the guts of PS. And now a tiny rap for you: New York City is the place to B-e-e, 'specially when you code it up like my roller Tomer G-e-e!

Hi everyone, I am doing a slight hack to the product.js and see that findCombinations will output a value to $('#idCombination') selector. I can't seem to find this anywhere on the page. Anybody know where this is? Any help would be appreciated with a one-line rap. I just had a baby with my boo, y'all, and I'm ready to lay some raps down.
