Changing product name dynamically

[mkbond777]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to change product name (a little bit) whenever a customer selects an attribute of that product?

 

Example:

Product name : Salt

Attributes: 200gm, 500gm, 1kg

 

Attribute selected          Product Name displayed

200gm                           Salt, pouch

500gm                           Salt, Jar

1kg                                Salt, Bootle

 

please help if this is possible in Prestashop

 

 

Thanks

Hi mk,

This is not possible by PrestaShop by default. It needs some programming.

 

Should the name be changed permanently, or only temporarily, on that page only?

 

If only temporarily on that page (i.e. for informational purpose only), you probably could use some Javascript/jquery function to change the name dynamically.

- You could maybe use the attribute-value metatitle field to store the addition you want to use for that attribute value. (You may have to add this metatitle to the SQL query where the attribute values are retrieved and sent to the product page, as I expect this not to be there by default)

- Then add some onchange event to the attribute value select fields (radio buttons, check box or drop down boxes etc) where you call the javascript function to add/change the name.

 

Haven't tried it, but expect something like this should work.

 

 

If you want to change names permanently, I expect problems when re-using the product for other times/customers etc. as the name is then changed already...

 

My 2 cents,

pascal.

Hi Pascal,

 

Thanks for your suggestions and yes I want reflect these name changes temporarily on that page only.

 

If possible, could you please let me know in which all file I need to make these changes?

 

Thanks again

Javascript in themes/<your theme folder>/product.tpl. Adjustments for adding the metatitle in the attributevalues array I expect in classes/Attribute.php and maybe controllers/ProductController.php. Not sure if I forget any though...

 

If I have time, I will give it a quick try, but please try yourself as well.
