Hint about Characteristic table

hi,

I would like to see Characteristic (color and size) in a table like this

.

Remark, this example are with S,M,XL size type, but it also have to support 36,38,40....... size type.

Is there any boy there have done it before or have seen a template there have this feature.

If not how hard will it be to do, if any one know.


Thanks in advanced

P.S. I am aware of the characteristic table but here it´s show radio bottons but i can´t see what there are in stock and what there not are.

I am agree it s a huge step in the right direction

However there was one thing you mention i do not cant create. you said if Iset the display out of stock to off the system will show and image of the iterms ´there on are in stock. .

But it do not do see that you can see it here www.screencast.com/t/zhYkpyw1

Tried both on and off

Is there an easy way to change the radio buttons to an "css button" with the value insight the the button, in wich file is the table generatet and is it possible to call the value of one (size) of the characteristic table

Hi and tanks for your reply

Most of the time it a matter of understanding the php code there are made, hope you have a hint to ensure that i am on the right path.

You mention i will some need customization (via override) in "show_block_characteristic" view where do you mean there need customization here due to i am pritty far the have made in the characteristic.php

I have change the type from radio to btn, and added $value->characteristic_value; in line 153 and to get the default selection to work i need to $value->characteristic_value in the line below, have tried servel ways but not work, have this something to with show_block_characteristic ?

if($this->characteristics[$value->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value->characteristic_id && !empty($this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id) && $this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value2->characteristic_id)

My intention was to give $value->characteristic_value it own class, then i can manage the rest in CSS

But if the show_block_characteristic also need some change i might not be on the right path.

Hi and thanks for your reply.

Right now is how to set the default. With a name in this line

have made a name2 = ''.$value->characteristic_value;

if($this->characteristics[$value->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value->characteristic_id && !empty($this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id) && $this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value2->characteristic_id)

I surpose that is the reason that the first box is with no name and

You can see it her www.screencast.com/t/eWr9sFxAzP

when that is done can 1 made a class for the $name2 and hide the vaule of other classes

Hmm that´s wird i do not get the delete2.png in my table if a prodouct not are on stock - see image ?

How ever what i want is replace the radio button with a box with the size in as showed eairler.

And as told i am pitty close, just need to inset the $name2 = ''.$value->characteristic_value; in the lines below so it shows the name i the default color/size combination.

if($this->characteristics[$value->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value->characteristic_id && !empty($this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id) && $this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value2->characteristic_id)

Have tried some combination with out success

Hi

Here is what my founding are so far.

Have added the line $name2 = ''.$value->characteristic_value;

And added this in $name = '_'.$value->characteristic_id.'_'.$value2->characteristic_id .$name2;

Then i have change the input type from "radio" to "btn"

$radio = "\n\t<span class=\"hikashop_product_characteristic_span".$classspan."\"><input type=\"btn\" class=................

By this i got the reasult as you can see on the image.

As you can see at the image now is show the value of the characteristic (size) inside the btn, however, as you see in the first one there are no characteristic, and i suppose the reason for that there is there are missing the value field in this line.

if($this->characteristics[$value->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value->characteristic_id && !empty($this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id) && $this->characteristics[$value2->characteristic_parent_id]->default->characteristic_id == $value2->characteristic_id) {
$radio .= ' checked';

If i am right can is give the $name2 it own class, the by that ajust the btn with css

I know it might not be the classic way but i might works until you come with html table solution as you concider to do
