Small Product Image for Product attribute selection

[Ray UK]

Hi, is it possible to have PS show a small thumbnail of the product variant instead of a showing texture or a predefined image in the attribute creation page.

I m meaning like this...

Thanks in advance

In IT everything is possible, its comes down to the price you are will to pay.

Have a look into modules, there might be something. If not ask in the job center.

Well arent you a bundle of joy.  Take your negative comments and shove them where the sun dont shine. 

This is a forum and the majority of people on here like to help others, and learn from others.

Im more than willing to learn and code it myself, but im not a Prestashop guru so thats why im asking for help.

Ill check the FREE modules out that a helpful poster has suggested.

Thanks for nothing !

Thanks that looks like the perfect module.

After installing though its throwing up errors.

"Oops... looks like an unexpected error occurred.

key_exists(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, StProThumbGroupClass given

[TypeError 0]"

I guess its not updated for 8.1 yet as the code in the instructions is different from what is in the product-variants.tpl file.

Glad there are people on here that are happy to try and help others :)

Well. I used it with Prestashop 1.6. When I updated to 1.7  the module didn´t work as it did till it was updated. Since they updated the module it works fine for me.

Try to write them at their contact form.

 

I like to help others as I got free help also here in the forum.

Thanks Aldeag,  Ive messgaged Sunnytoo to ask about modifications for 8.1.

That module works perfectly on my 1.7 copy of the site

After further investigations by me, I have discovered that the module work perfectly fine on PS8, but only if you stick to PHP7.  Switching to PHP8 gives an error when adding a rule in the module config

In order to make the code compatible with PHP 8, you should change StProThumbGroupClass.php to use property_exists instead of key_exists like this:

before:

if (key_exists($key, $this) && $key != 'id_'.$this->table && !isset($_FILES[$key]))

after:

if (property_exists($this, $key) && $key != 'id_' . $this->table && !isset($_FILES[$key]))

Please note the reversed order of arguments.

Great answer. 

MerseyRay will confirm

Thanks Daresh, I’ll give this a try tomorrow and update here.

Perfect.  Changed that code and it now functions properly with PHP8
